Capo 2 C5 G5 One day after twenty five years A5 F5 Head of service at the local Sears C5 G5 F5 Helen Walker put her pencil down and walked away C5 G5 And all they found was a little note A5 F5 adios was all she wrote C5 G5 C5 But as she left someone heard her say Chorus: F5 C5 A5 Gonna buy me a ticket to the end of the line F5 D5 G5 Wanna feel the air and breathe the countryside C5 G5 Long as those wheels keep-a-rollin A5 F5 C5 G5 C5 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 till 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
