By Greg Trooper rmofle at satx.rr.com 11/28/2005 G D She lives close to the tracks so she never sleeps a wink D G The trains run all night, give her plenty time to think G D About the love that she had to a man brave and true D G And how that love turned bad the way love is bound to do C G They'd have candle light meals, they'd drink wine from Bordeaux D G They'd make love every night, the moon hung low C G But he stopped coming home, he stopped paying the bills D G She had to move to this house by the tracks down the hill Solo She'd call her mom and her dad but they wouldn't understand They'd say what did you do to that hard working man She'd call her brother down south but he'd never call her back He's got his house down a hill next to his own railroad tracks So what happens now, what should she do She can't fall asleep and dream a love brand new Up in the air she sees birds and planes You know she'd go anywhere to get away from these trains Outro She lives close to the tracks
