G            C                    A      Cadd9Whiskey on a Southbound bound for Angeltown
G                D               C     GLet those diesel engines pull me down
G                     C             A                         
 Cadd9Broke down man at the station house cryin' from his head to his hands
G                D               GLord it makes me wonder what she said

Am                  F                 GShe said I have the strangest kind of innocence
Am                    F                 DBut I'm gonna ask her exactly what that means
Am                 F               GShe said her mother likes me and I think I trust them both
G                           D                       GAnd she treats me good enough for me to write this song
