  • Verse 1
    Keep 
    an eye on 
    my blind 
    spots 

    There's 
    too 
    many 

    Keep 
    lookin' 
    for some 
    light 

    But there 
    isn't 
    any 

    Was top 
    dead 
    center, 
    baby 
    Verse 2

    Now 
    my 
    motor's 
    gone 
    soft 

    used to roll 
    through 
    here 

    like a 
    freight train 

    But 
    my 
    wheels 
    come 
    off 

    Verse 3

    Got 
    the 
    ring my 
    sister 
    gave 
    me 

    Said 
    it was 
    my mom's 

    The 
    day she 
    died of 
    cancer 

    stole 
    her morphine 
    and 
    gone 

    Verse 4
    Oh, 
    lived 
    like a lion 
    in Nashville 

    For a 
    couple 
    more 
    years 

    used 
    to roll 
    through 

    here like 
    a freight 
    train 

    But 
    slipped 
    my 
    gears 

    Verse 5

    Oh, I 
    paid a 
    price 
    for everything 

    You can't 
    play it 
    down 

    They'll 
    kick 
    you off 
    an empty 
    boxcar 

    And 
    leave 
    you 
    in 
    this town 

    Verse 6
    only 
    want the best 
    for you 

    passed 
    it somewhere 
    along 
    the way 

    used 
    to roll 
    through 
    here 

    like 
    a freight 
    train 

    Baby, 
    what 
    can 
    say? 

    Verse 7

    I had 
    sunshine 
    in 
    my kitchen 

    Butter 
    on my 
    toast 

    Coffee 
    brewed 
    up 
    in a lovin' 
    cup 

    In the 
    presence 
    of the 
    Holy 
    Ghost 

    Verse 8
    But 
    I just 
    kept 
    comin' 

    and goin' 

    Yeah, you 
    couldn't 
    stop 
    cryin' 

    Used to 
    roll 
    through 
    here 

    like a freight 
    train 

    Must've 
    been out
    ta my 

    mind 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 9
    Don't 
    think you 
    never got 
    to me 

    Oh 
    baby, 
    you really 
    did 

    Your 
    love is 
    all 
    ever 
    think 
    of 

    Hurts 
    to 
    keep 
    it hid 

    Verse 10
    But I'm 
    not 
    foolin' 
    any
    body 

    Only 
    myself 
    for 
    a while 

    used to 
    roll 
    through 
    here like 
    a freight 
    train 

    used 
    to 
    make 
    you 
    smile

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
