Amtrack Crescent

• G

Capo 2 
 
         G                    C           D  
Well the Amtrak Crescent is a north bound train 
         G               D               C     Em 
When you can't afford to stay no more in New Orleans 
     G                                C          D  
So I bought the cheapest ticket and I carried my clothes 
G                D           C      Em 
Blood beneath my eyes from a broken nose 
                     D                  Em 
Cause when life goes wrong it just goes on and on 
               D                    Em  
When life goes wrong, it just drags on 
 
Well there ain?t no ham like the Birmingham 
To make a fella wanna stay in Alabam? 
But I crossed into Georgia into Eastern Time 
Dared to eat a peach to take it off my mind 
When life goes wrong it just goes on and on 
When life goes wrong, this train goes on 
 
C                 Bm 
Somewhere between right and wrong 
Em                  A 
Somehow I manage to keep moving on 
C                           Bm 
Searching for any place but where I am 
      Em              D 
And a first and second chance 
 
 
At stop in Charlotte found a hogs leg joint 
Seemed like forever 'til we reached High Point 
Now Lynchburg to Danville that's a ghost filled rail 
If you listen you can hear the engineer's wife wail 
Now when life goes wrong, it just goes on 
That when life goes wrong, this train goes on 
 
Solo 
 
You better say Manassas if you say Bull Run 
Cause in Virginia you won't get along with anyone 
Just across the river you can change your tune 
Like all the politicians there in DC do 
When life goes wrong, it just goes on 
When life goes wrong, it just drags on 
 
Chorus 2: 
Somewhere between right and wrong 
Somehow I manage to keep moving on 
Searching for any place but where I am 
And a first, second, third, fourth,  
Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth chance 
 
Bet it used to be pretty on the Eastern Shore 
Now it?s more New York down to Baltimore 
It takes so much effort just to move this train 
Why does everything around me have to look the same 
Like when life goes wrong, it just goes on and on 
When life goes wrong, it just drags on
