[Verse 1]
C F C
Well I lit out in Southern Arizona
Am G C
I followed an abandoned railroad track
F C Am
Trains they used run from Bisby out to Juarez
D G
But the copper mines are closed and the trains ain't coming back
C F C
This here’s the land of stolen ponies
E Am
Rattlesnakes and poison water wells
F C Am
Each god-forsaken mile leads right to heaven
F G C
But tryin to please that woman it was hell
[Chorus]
C F C
Put me on the next thing smokin
Am G C
Put me on the next train out of here
F C
This heart ain't made for being broken
D G
Well she ain't my conductor and she ain’t my engineer
C F C
Put me on the next thing leavin’
E Am
The northern or the southern hemisphere
F C Am
Put me on the next thing smokin’
F G C
Put me on the next train outta here
Am
I'm bound to ride
C
I got my pride
Am
I'm bound to ride

I'm bound to ride
