          G
Well they say you live & learn but it really seems more to me
     G                   D               G  
Like all along I've been learning how to live
         G                            C
Well for years I been drifting like a boat lost out at sea
              G                        D           G 
I've been out walking them ties on the railroad of sin

Looking back on my life now at some of the things I done
Makes me wanna hang my head in shame
I was a no good, no account, low down heartbreaker
On that railroad of sin I was a highballing train


Chorus:
           C                             G 
I'm just a poor boy had to beg, steal, & borrow
       G
Just a leaf blowing lonesome in the wind
           G                      C
I'm just a hitchhiker on that old highway of sorrow
       G                         D           G
Just a highballing train on that railroad of sin

Solo

Well you won't feel it and you won't hear it coming
Cause when she's rolling slow it don't make a sound
But I got that throttle to ten on the railroad of sin
I'm coming off of the rails and I can't slow it down

Chorus
