Cpo 2
D
The alley dogs are barking chickens crowing down the lane
A
I feel just like that rooster with his mournful low refrain
G A G A
With the sundown on my shoulder justa hanging 'round the yard
G A D
I'll be leaving here tomorrow gonna catch an empty car
D
There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky
A
But the earth is just one station on that lonesome starry line
G A G A
There's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track
G A D
And I'm just an empty coal car on a train not coming back
Chorus:
