AM G I can feel the wheels turning underneath my feet. AM As I pull the shade down on my window seat. F G AM Praying where I'm going is better than where I've been. AM G Then a stranger sits down as if he's right at home. G AM Touches me and says I see you're traveling alone. F G AM And by the way son, you forgot to say amen. F He says I guess there's something here I need to explain. AM I try to talk to everyone riding this train. F E Some of them listen, but most don't pay me no mind.
Chorus: AM F And the train keeps rolling and the world keeps turning. AM E AM All aboard, all aboard, everybody's gotta get on board.
AM G Take that woman with the frown sitting across the aisle. G AM With her briefcase open nigh on ninety miles. F G AM She never even noticed that lake back at Horseshoe Bend. AM G And that couple with the kids at the front of the car. G AM Fussing all the way about some cookie jar. F G AM I'm gonna ask them what they saw at their journey's end. F And there's a fellow I left sitting in the back. AM Keeps a smile on his face through a paper sack. F E Looking out the window but he can't see past the pain.
Chorus: AM F And the train keeps rolling, and the world keeps turning. AM E AM All aboard, All aboard, everybody's gotta get on board.
AM G Then the train slows down unexpectedly. AM As I raise my blind he slaps my knee. F G AM Saying this is my stop son but you won't be traveling alone. AM G I look out my window to wave him goodbye. AM But there's nobody there, just a light in the sky. F G AM I lose my breath and my blood runs cold as stone. AM F Then I feel the wheels turning underneath my feet. AM But life looks different from my window seat. F E Knowing where I'm going is better than where I've been.
Chorus: AM F And the train keeps rolling and the world keeps turning. AM E AM All aboard, all aboard. Everybody's gotta get on board. AM I can feel the wheels a turnin' underneath my feet...
