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
