Capo 1

D             A    
One day after twenty five years
Bm                     G
Head of service at the local Sears
      D                     A                G 
Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away
    D                    A
And all they found was a little note
Bm          G
“adios” was all she wrote
    D           A                 D  
But as she left someone heard her say


Chorus:
G                     D                 Bm 
Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line
      G                E7                 A
Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside
D                           A
Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin
Bm           G           D     A     D 
I’ll be satisfied, gonna ride, ride, ride.


Saturday night I was down at Joe’s
He was moppin up getting ready to close
He sat down and poured me one last brew
And he said to me with a sideways glance
If I ever get the chance
I’m gonna sell this joint and this is what I’ll do

Chorus

I suppose I could stay
In this little town til my dying day
But in my heart I know I gotta go
So I’m standing at the station waitin for the train
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Mr. Engineer won’t you let your whistle blow
