Amtrack Crescent

Capo 2

         G                    C   
Well the Amtrak Crescent is a 
        D
north bound train
         G               D     
When you can't afford to stay no 
          C     Em
more in New Orleans
     G                             
So I bought the cheapest ticket and
   C          D
 I carried my clothes
G                D           C  
Blood beneath my eyes from a 
    Em
broken nose
                     D             
Cause when life goes wrong it just 
     Em
goes on and on
               D                   
When life goes wrong, it just drags
 Em
 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

Refrão -------------
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
