    • Verse 1
    She 
    was 
    a young 
    and 

    pretty 
    Coleman 
    county 
    farm 
    girl 

    Never 
    been 
    more 
    than 
    fifty 
    miles 
    from 
    home 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    a drifter, 

    I 
    was 
    living 
    off 
    the land 

    Spent 
    the summer 
    on 
    her 
    daddy's 
    farm 

    Verse 2
    In 
    the 
    evening 
    we'd 
    walk 

    along 
    the rail
    road 

    We'd 
    hear 
    that lonesome 

    whistle 
    in 
    the night 

    And 
    she'd 
    pretend 
    we 
    rode 

    the 
    rails 
    to 
    Denver 

    'Cause 
    her 
    head 
    was 
    full of 

    flash
    in' 
    neon 
    lights 

    Verse 3
    Twas 
    that 
    big old 
    shiny 
    diesel 
    as 

    it roun
    ded 
    Carter's 
    bend 

    Was 
    enough 
    to make 
    a young 

    girl 
    want 
    to 
    roam 

    She'd 
    pre
    tend 
    she 
    rode 
    those shiny 

    rails 
    all 
    around 
    the world 

    And 
    had 
    the Texas 
    Silver 

    Zephyr 
    bring 
    her 
    home 

    Verse 4
    As 
    summer 
    work 
    was over 

    and 
    restless 
    got 
    to me 

    I 
    kept 
    talkin' 
    'bout 
    the places 

    I would 
    go 

    Then her 
    young 
    head 
    got 
    to spinnin' 

    for 
    the thing
    s 
    she'd 
    never 
    seen 

    So 
    she fol
    lowed 
    me 

    to Den
    ver 
    in the 
    fall 

    Verse 5
    Then 
    jobs 
    got scarce 
    in central 
    Color
    ado 

    And 
    then 
    the 
    winter 
    night

    s 
    got awful 
    cold 

    Just 
    one old 
    army 
    blanket 

    was 
    the only 
    one 
    we 
    had 

    No 
    money 
    for 
    the 
    oil 
    to 
    run 
    the stove 

    Verse 6
    Yes, 
    that 
    big 
    old shiny 
    diesel 
    as 

    it roun
    ded 
    Carter's 
    bend 

    Was 
    enough 
    to make 
    a young 

    girl 
    want 
    to 
    roam 

    But 
    through all 
    those 
    hungry 
    night

    s the only 
    promise 
    that I 
    made 

    I 
    had 
    the Texas 
    Silver 

    Zephyr 
    take 
    her 
    home 

    When 
    she started 
    Verse 7
    feelin' 
    bad, 

    she 
    didn't 
    tell 
    me 

    She 
    had 
    a way 
    of 
    keepin' 

    problems 
    all 
    her 
    own 

    So 
    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    her 
    troubles 

    with 
    the baby 

    Before 
    I 
    could 
    get 
    a doc
    tor, 

    she 
    was 
    gone 

    Verse 8
    Lord, 
    I 
    know 
    it's 
    not 
    the way 
    she 

    really 
    wanted 
    things 
    to be 

    In her 
    dream
    s she 
    had 

    a pull 
    man 
    all 
    her 
    own 

    But 
    she'd 
    be proud 
    of 
    me 
    to know 

    I 
    kept 
    my 
    promise 

    And 
    had 
    the Texas 
    Silver 

    Zephyr 
    take 
    her 
    home 

    And 
    had 
    the Texas 
    Silver 

    Zephyr 
    take 
    her 
    home

      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 🙂

      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.
