A blues song about riding the north-bound train wi

[Intro – slide guitar trill, distant train whistle] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – sparse acoustic guitar, soft brush drums] Boots propped up on the window sill Dice in my palm, wine spills on the hill North-bound steel cutting through the dark Restless heart got me chasing a mark [Chorus – wailing harmonica, steady bass line] Chicago neon calling my name Dice roll fast, wine burns like flame Train tracks hum a bluesy rhyme Gambling the night away, one more time [Verse 2 – slide guitar riff, tapping foot rhythm] Ticket stub crumpled in my coat pocket Last of my cash in a dog-eared locket Conductor’s voice fades down the line Got nothing left but this restless mind [Chorus – layered harmonica, gritty vocal harmonies] Chicago neon calling my name Dice roll fast, wine burns like flame Train tracks hum a bluesy rhyme Gambling the night away, one more time [Bridge – slow harmonica solo build, quiet drums] Moon peeks through the smoky haze Betting all I have on a pair of aces No regrets, no turning back This north-bound train’s my only track [Solo – weeping slide guitar, reverb-drenched] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – full band, raw vocal intensity] Chicago neon calling my name Dice roll fast, wine burns like flame Train tracks hum a bluesy rhyme Gambling the night away, one more time [Outro – fading guitar, distant train rumble] Steel wheels click into the dawn Dice fall still, wine’s all gone
