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
