finds you D A You know daddy didn't raise no welfare fool D G Said there's a lot worse things a boy could do D A Than straddle an iron beam D G So I build this bridge 'til it's complete D A And I'll take the steel toes off my feet D G And give myself a one way seat D A7 D On that train to Hopkinsville [Chorus] G D I'm going back to Hopkinsville G D A I'm going back, you know I will D G Only 21
