Good Old American Guest by Merle Haggard
Good Old American Guest
C C7
Well I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
F C
pull a slouch hat down low on my ears
C7
I'm yearnin' to leave this old town on the flight
D7 G7
and lose all my trouble and cares
C C7
In this day of airplanes and highways
F C
Hey the slow way is sometimes the best
F C A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
D7 G7 C
and be a good old American guest
C C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
F C
and spend a few days headed west
F C A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
D7 G7 C
and be a good old American guest

C C7
Well the pressures of life they got to me
F C
and they got down deep inside my soul
C7
I'm tired of the rat race wanna go back to the slow pace
D7 G7
and hear a fast freight train rattle and roll
C C7
I wanna live out my days like a hobo
F C
and take myself that long needed rest
F C A7
Hey I'm lookin' to ride on a freight train
D7 G7 C
and be a good old American guest
C C7
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for
F C
and spend a few days headed west
F C A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
D7 G7 C
and be a good old American guest
F C A7
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
D7 G7 C
and be a good old American guest
