    D              A               Em              G 
I'm ridin' on this train, drinkin' whiskey for the pain 
      D                A         G... 
Just another good ole boy headed home 
 
And every town I see, seems to take a part of me 
                                                 D 
Well, that's the price, that you pay, when you roam 

       Em         Bm              C  G       A A/G A/F# A/E 
Yes, I cry, when I have to, and I lie when I can 
          D  F#m         Bm   G         D     A          D 
Oh, but, I die  a little slower, on the train  to Birmingham
 
 
 
 
I got holes in both of my shoes, got a guitar full of blues 
 
And a one-way ticket, for my remedy 
 
It's the same old lonesome song, I been singin' all night long 
 
Hey Porter, are we out of Tennessee 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Every year I take this train, to Alabama in the rain 
When I get this lonesome feelin', in my bones 
But, I never get to Birmingham, ah but 
Gettin' there ain't the plan 
I just like the feel of goin' home 
 
Repeat Chorus 
       D    A            G    D 
On the train   to Birmingham
