    C                   F                     G
For years I've tried to leave this poor man's valley
     F                   C             Bb      G 
On a train that's on its way to richer ground
      C                         F                C
Where rivers never overflow and dreams cannot be drowned
        F           G            C  
But the train never stops at our town


I'd like to buy a mansion for my darling
On a way upon a mountain look it down
I know there's a restless goal up there just waitin' to be found
But the train never stops at our town


Bridge:
G                                C
Failure has to find something to blame
        D                                  G
And the only thing that's left is that old frame


The darkness of the night catches me crying
A whistle soon will blow a lonesome sound.
A spark of hope becomes a flame each time the train slows down
But the train never stops at our town

That old train never stops at our town
