Amtrak Crescent
By Scott Miller
Capo 2
G C D
Well the Amtrak Crescent is a north bound train
G D C Em
When you can't afford to stay no more in New Orleans
G C D
So I bought the cheapest ticket and I carried my clothes
G D C Em
Blood beneath my eyes from a broken nose
D Em
Cause when life goes wrong it just goes on and on
D Em
When life goes wrong, it just drags 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
Chorus 1:
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
