Song: Texas 1947
Artist: Guy Clark
Transcribed by: T. Hickson
>From the album "Keepers" (track 2), a live album. I m probably missing a
lot of the subtleties, but it s a nice, easy way to play it. Guy makes
the verses build as if a train is approaching and passing you by, but you
gotta hear it to make it work.

[tab]
Now bein six years old[/tab]
[tab]
I d seen some trains before,[/tab]
[tab]
so it s hard to figure out[/tab]
[tab]
what I m at the depot for.[/tab]
[tab]
Trains are big and black and smokin steam,[/tab]
[tab]
screamin at the wheels,[/tab]
[tab]
bigger than anything there is,[/tab]
[tab]
at least that s the way she feels[/tab]
[tab]
Trains are big and black and smokin ,[/tab]
louder than July four,
[tab]
but everybody s actin like[/tab]
[tab]
this might be somethin more...[/tab]
[tab]
...than just pickin up the mail[/tab]
[tab]
or the soldiers from the war,[/tab]
[tab]
this is somethin that even old man Wileman (?)[/tab]
[tab]
never seen before.[/tab]
BRIDGE:
[tab]
And it s late afternoon[/tab]
on a hot Texas day,
[tab]
somethin strange is goin on[/tab]
[tab]
and we s all in the way.[/tab]
[tab]
Well there s fifty or sixty people[/tab]
[tab]
they re just sittin on their cars,[/tab]
[tab]
and the old men left their dominoes[/tab]
[tab]
and they come down from the bars.[/tab]
[tab]
Everybody s checkin ,[/tab]
[tab]
old Jack Kittrel(?) checked his watch,[/tab]
[tab]
and us kids put our ears[/tab]
[tab]
to the rails to hear em pop.[/tab]
[tab]
So we already knowed[/tab]
when they finally said train time
[tab]
you d a-thought that Jesus Christ himself[/tab]
[tab]
was rollin down the line.[/tab]
[tab]
Cuz things got real quiet,[/tab]
[tab]
Momma jerked me back,[/tab]
[tab]
not before I d got the chance[/tab]
[tab]
to lay a nickel on the track.[/tab]
CHORUS:
[tab]
Look out here she comes, she s comin ,[/tab]
[tab]
Look out there she goes, she s gone,[/tab]
[tab]
screamin straight through Texas[/tab]
[tab]
like a mad dog cyclone.[/tab]
[tab]
Big, red, and silver,[/tab]
she don t make no smoke,
[tab]
she s a fast-rollin streamline[/tab]
[tab]
come to show the folks.[/tab]
[tab]
Look out here she comes, she s comin [/tab]
[tab]
Look out there she goes, she s gone,[/tab]
[tab]
screamin straight through Texas[/tab]
[tab]
like a mad dog cyclone.[/tab]
[tab]
...Lord, she never even stopped.[/tab]
[tab]
She left fifty or sixty people[/tab]
[tab]
still sittin on their cars,[/tab]
[tab]
and they re wonderin what it s comin to[/tab]
[tab]
and how it got this far.[/tab]
[tab]
Oh but me I got a nickel smashed[/tab]
[tab]
flatter than a dime[/tab]
[tab]
by a mad dog, runaway[/tab]
[tab]
red-silver streamline...train[/tab]
