    Verse 1
    My 
    Grandaddy 
    was 
    a railroad 

    man 

    When 
    I was 
    young 
    he 
    took 

    me 
    by 
    the hand 

    Dragged 
    me 
    to 
    the station 

    at 
    the 
    break 
    of dawn 

    Said 
    "boy 
    I 
    got 
    to show 
    you somethin' 

    'fore 
    it's 
    gone" 

    She 
    was 
    blue 
    and silver, 

    she 
    was 
    right 
    on 
    time 

    We rode 
    that Texas 
    Eagle 

    on 
    the 
    Mopac line 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    We 
    had 
    some sandwiches 

    that 
    Granma 
    packed 

    We 
    rode 
    to Palestine 
    and 

    hitchhiked 
    back 

    Home 
    in time 
    for supper 
    with 
    a 
    tale 
    to 
    tell 

    That 
    night 
    I 
    dreamed 
    I heard 
    that 

    lone
    some 
    whistle 
    wail 

    Verse 3
    When 
    I got 
    old 
    enough 
    to take 
    the 
    train 
    alone 

    I 
    rode 
    that 
    Texas 
    Eagle 
    down 
    to San 
    Antone 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 4
    Nowadays 
    they don't 

    make 
    no 
    trains 

    Just 
    the 
    piggyback freighters 

    and 
    them 
    Amtrak th
    ings 

    They 
    shut 
    the Eagle 
    down 
    awhile 
    ago 

    Sold 
    it 
    to 
    the railroad 
    down 
    in Mexico 

    But 
    every 
    now 
    and 
    then 

    that 
    whistle's 
    on my 
    mind 

    I 
    ride 
    that 
    Texas 
    Eagle 
    cross 
    the borderline

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
