Goold Old American Guest
M. Haggard
INTRO: C
Well I'm l[C]ongin' to ride on a freight train
Pull a [F]slouch hat down low on my [C]ears
[C]I'm yearnin' to leave this old town on the fly
And [D]lose all my troubles and [G]cares
[C]In this day of airplanes and highways
[F]Hey, the slow way is sometimes the [C]best
[F]I'm longin' to ride on a freight [C]train[Am]
And be a [F]good old Ame[G]rican [C]guest
CHORUS:
Yes, I want to [C]live off the land that I've loved and I've labored for
And [F]spend a few days headin'[C] west
[F]I'm longin' to ride on a [C]freight train[Am]
And be a [F]good old Am[G]erican [C]guest
SOLO
Well the pressures of life, they got to me
And they got down deep in my soul
I'm tired of the rat race, wanna go back to the slow pace
And hear a fast freight rattle and roll
I wanna live out my days like a hobo
And take myself a long needed rest
Hey hey, I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest
CHORUS
[F]I'm longin' to ride on [C]a frei[Am]ght train
And be a [F]good old [G]Ameri[C]can g[F]uest[G] [C]
