  D          Em               G
snow on the railroad tracks

dogs in the moonlight

stoned out on kerouac

trying to get it just right

a phone in a dim lit room
              D
rings out forever
                   Em                G
in a time that was still too soon
                  A
but why should he care
         G        D
he had a rambling soul
A          G         D
he drank a bottle of cheap wine
A             G             D
turned up his collar to the cold
    A (Asus)                  D
and waited, he waited for his sign

fueled by ampetamines

and visions of beauty

as far as the eye could see

was all that he strived for

a waitress in tennessee

he silenced her raging sea
                   A
and walked out the door

he had a rambling soul

he drank a bottle of cheap wine

D        Em        G
under an open sky
                   D
he stands with his eyes closed

if anyone asks him why

a rusty harmonica

he's lost in america
