 Note: Very simple ---(or optionally play the chord like rock) ---

Put me on a train mama

 This place just ain't the same no more

Put me on a train mama

 I'm leavin' today

 I don't wanna watch the world spinnin'

 I wanna be spinnin' with it

 Put me on a train mama

 I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure

 And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more

Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

 Lord I know it's the chance that I take

 But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made

 There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Put me on a train mama

 'cause I can't take this pain no more

Put me on a train mama

 I'm leavin today

 And there's a world that's out there waiting

 And I know that it's the chance I'm taking

 Put me on a train mama

 I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure

 And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more

Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

 Lord I know it's the chance that I take

 But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made

 There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

God knows how long I'll be gone

 But maybe one day a train will bring me home

(Silent)

Put me on a train mama

Put me on a train mama

Oh put me on a train mama

I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure

 And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more

Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

 Lord I know it's the chance that I take

 But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made

 There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Oh, put me on the train

'cause I'm leavin' today
