Standard (EADGBE)
First verse:
I took a ride, the other day, on a late night train,
Not knowing, where it goes.
It was kinda funny, for a while, until I realized,
That I don't know where I am.
Second verse:
There was a woman, by the window, with her hair pulled back,
singing a song, that I recognized.
It was kinda funny, for a while until I realized,
she was singing out loud, all to herself.
Chorus
And I don't know if its in the books but I think I'm on the right track.
Yeah, my shoes are worn and my legs are tired but I gotta be on the right
track.
I'm taken the bad stuff back, I gotta be on the right track.
Repeat intro x1
Third verse:
I wrote a song, the other day, about nothing at all,
I don't know why, I guess it keeps me going strong.
It was kinda funny, for a while, until I realized,
that I'd been writing that song, all damn day!
Repeat Chorus x1
Forth verse (play palm muted):
Well I wish, I had a tambourine cause I'd play it too.
And if you took my tambourine away I'd be like, "hey, how could you?"
And it would be kinda funny, as I watched it go away
Then I'd smile, and find something else to play.
Bridge/Verse
Singing hey............. I gotta be on the right track.
Saying hey, hey-hey-hey, I gotta be on the right track
I'm taking the bad stuff back,
I gotta be on the right track.
Repeat final verse x1
