Chords

  G
Well, she was born in a north woods town

                    D
Twenty-one winters ago

And she grew tired of the freezing cold

                             G
And living in the blinding snow

But this girl knew she wouldn't be there long

                           D
'Cause she had plans and dreams

And she'd seen pictures of the sunshine state

                       G
In the pages of a magazine

   G
So she waited them tables and she used her smile

                         D
Saving every penny she can

For a one-way dixie-bound Amtrak ticket

                          G
Headed for the promised land

Her momma and daddy begged her not to go

                             D
When the day she dreamed of came

And she waved goodbye sittin' way up high

                                  G
From the window of a southbound train

 G
Now, she's got a fire burnin' deep inside

                         D
Ridin' on a southbound train

And the clickity-clack of that railroad track

                          G
Only helps to fan the flames

No more worries, no more cares

                              C
She left them up in Bangor, Maine

  D
Now she's startin' a brand new life

                         G
Ridin' on a southbound train

(Break)

 G
She said, "Hello sun, good mornin' Daytona

                             D
You're sure lookin' good to me

With your ocean breeze and your tall palm trees

                    G
And your southern hospitality."

Now she's a knockout queenie in a string bikini

                             D
She's drivin' all the boys insane

And this all started with a small town dream

                               G
And a ticket on a southbound train

 G
'Cause she had a fire burnin' deep inside

                         D
Ridin' on a southbound train

And the clickity-clack of that railroad track

                          G
Only helped to fan the flames

No more worries, no more cares

                             C
She left them up in Bangor, Maine

 D
Yeah, she likes the boys with a southern drawl

Soakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ball She'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all

                           G
To ridin' on a southbound train
