While ridiGng on a train gAmoing west
I fell asleeCp for to take mDy rest.
I dreamed a dream tD7hat made me sDad G
Concerning myself and theAm first few fDriends I hadC. G
With half Gdamp eyes I staAmred to the room
Where my friCends and I spenDt many an afternoon
Where we together wD7eathered manyD a storm G
Laughing and singing 'tilAml the early Dhours of theC morn. G
By the oldG wooden stove wAmhere our hats were hung
Our words weCre told and ourD songs were sung;
We longed for nothiD7ng and were sDatisfied G
Talking and jokAming about thDe world outsCide. G
With hauntGed hearts throuAmgh the heat and cold
We never thoCught we could gDet very old
We thought we couldD7 sit forever Din fun G
Though our chances reAmally were a Dmillion to oCne. G
As easy itG was to tell blAmack from white
It was all tChat easy to telDl wrong from right;
Our choices were feD7w and the thoDught never hitG
That the one road we traveled would eveAmr shatter anDd split. C G
Ah many a Gyear has passedAm and gone
And many a gCamble has been Dlost and won;
And many a road takD7en by many a Dfriend G
And each one of tAmhem I've nevDer seen agaiCn. G
I wish I Gwish I wish inAm vain
That we coulCd sit simply inD that room once again;
Ten thousand dollarD7s at the dropD of a hat G
I'd give it all gAmladly if ourD lives couldC be like thGat.
While ridiGng on a train gAmoing west
I fell asleeCp for to take mDy rest.
I dreamed a dream tD7hat made me sDad G
