Intro

Riff 1 [2x]

Verse 1

Riff 1 Riff 1

Oh, I guess they'll say I've grown

I know more than I wanted to know

I said more, than I wanted to say

Chorus 1

Riff 1

I'm headed home

Riff 1

Yeah, but I'm not so sure

/ Riff 1

That home is a place you can still get to by train

Post-Chorus 1

So I'm looking out the window

And I'm drifting off to sleep

With my face pressed up against the pane

With the rhythm of my heart

And a ringing in my ears

* Riff 1 [2x]

It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Bridge

Oh, well the wind starts to look like her hair

And the clouds in her bright blue eyes

As the sea and the shore fall and rise

Like her breast as she breathes by my side

And the moon is her lips

As the sun is headed on down to the sea

Like her head as she lays down on me

Until we reach ocean side

Post-Chorus 2

Over and over

I hear the same refrain

It's the rhythm of my heart

And my sleepy girl's breathing

* Riff 2 [2x]

It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Verse 2

Riff 1 Riff 1

Oh, I guess they'll say I should have known

Or maybe I'm just feeling old

Like a lawyer with no one to blame

Chorus 2

Riff 1

I'm headed home

Riff 1

Yeah, but I'm not so sure

/ Riff 1

That home is a place that will ever be the same

Post-Chorus 3

So we gathering up our things

And we head out in the cold

And your eyes are where you carry the pain

When I hear the whistle weeping

It's crying to the sky

It's the rhythm of my southbound train

Riff 1 [2x]

It's the rhythm of my southbound train
