Lucy Kaplansky Break A Train written by Cliff Eberhardt
C Bm
I'm headed south on a railroad train
F C G
We're pulling out on time and I'm amazed
C C Bm
Got my window seat I got my magazines
F C G
Got everything I need except for you
C Bm
Remember when we took that train out west
F C G
They almost threw us off for acting strange
Am
Made fools of all the porters
F C
We drank booze out of paper cups
G
You showed me a good time baby
E7 Am
But I never got enough
F C
You showed me a good time darling
G C
But I never got enough
G
And my heart feels just as caloused
C
As some old breakmans hands
G
Been on the job for years
B7 Em
He still don't understand
F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
F
His life has let him dowm
C G
You can brake a train you can break a heart
Am F
But you never learn to like the sound
C Bm
I'm sitting all alone in a dining car
F C G
I feel like a fool for ordering this meal
C Bm
It's no fun without you here
F C G
I miss your teasing everytime I spill my drink
C
Were pulling in a station
Bm
I wish it was my stop
F C G
I'll remeber next time to take the plane
Am
It just ain't the same without you
F C
I was a fool to try now
G
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
E Am
Like he never seen a woman cry
F C
Now im getting odd looks from a porter
G C
Like he never seen a woman cry
G
And my heart feels just as caloused
C
As some old breakmans hands
G
Been on the job for years
B7 Em
He still don't understand
F
Why the towns fade away like lovers
F
His life has let him dowm
C G
You can brake a train you can break a heart
Am F C
But you never learn to like the sound
