[Verse]
 D                        
I'm just a penny on the train track

   G                     D
Waiting for my judgment day

   D                                
Come on baby girl, let see me those legs

    G                    D
Before I get flattened away

   D             A
I wait, yeah I wait

          G                          D
For something good, for something great
[Verse]
   D                             
Stopping in somebody's old hometown

    G                     D
Gotta get that midnight meal

  D                           
If you can't get behind your own life

   G                      D
Get behind the driving wheel

    D         A
And go, just go

  G                           D
Find a place that you don't know
[Verse]
 D                                     
Ran into a friend just the other night

  G                         D
Got a badge, he's a local cop

    D                                   
Haven't seen that boy in over seven years

  G                             D
Since outta high school I dropped

   D       A
I see, I see

   G                          D
All the things that I should be
[Verse]
   D                       
Even lucky man has a bad day

  G                      D
And pretty girl has a scar

  D                                     
After that train comes and takes me away

   G              D
Pick up that guitar

      D         A
And play, just play

   G                        D
Play that rock and roll for me
[Verse]
   D                               
He's in the yard just washin' his car

    G                        D
Thinking about his pretty wife

    D                             
Makin' lemonade with the kitchen aid

    G                  D
Makin' him a perfect life

           D        A
And it's grim, so dim

    G                                 D
When you wish that you were just like him
[Verse]
 D                              
I'm just a penny on the train track

   G                      D
Waiting for my judgment day

   D                                  
Come on baby girl, let me see those legs

  G                      D
Before I get flattened away

  D            A
I wait, yeah I wait

  G                                   D
For something good, for something great
[Outro]
        D         A
And I try, oh I try

 G                           D
I can't stop, I don't know why
