First time I met
old Turnpike Tom
Sittin' in a diner in Bloomington

Ab
He said "Are you going my way?"
He had a sleeping bag and
his hat was torn
And both his thumbs were two feet long
Db
From years of hitchin'
Ab
on the hi- way
B
He said "Mister,
Bbm
Ebm
won't you give me a ride
B
Bbm
I'm a wanted man lookin'
Ebm
Eb
for a place to hide"
Ab
Oh, we finished the coffee and
Db
we got in the car
Ab
Db
We drove off and hadn't gone far
Ab
Eb
Ab
When Tom began to tell me his sad story...
Verse 2
Ab
He said "Long around 1942
Buddy, I robbed a bank in Kalamazoo
Db
Just to get enough money to
Ab
marry my true darlin'
But she died when she
heard what I had done
And ever since I've been on the run
Db
Ab
Standing on the hi- ways a callin'
B
A callin' mister won't
Bbm
Ebm
you give me a ride
B
Bbm
I'm a wanted man look in'
Ebm
Eb
for a place to hide"
Ab
Said "Now I'm gettin'

old and ready to die
Ab
Db
Too tired to run and too sick to try

Verse 4
Ab
He said "I can't pay you for the ride
Just once before I die
Db
Ab
I'd like to do somebody a favor"
And out of his pocket came
a rusty old key
Along with a map and he give 'em to me

And said "Here's an end

to all your labor"

There's 20, 000 in unmarked green

The money I stole that's

in the machine

That hangs on the wall in Rusty's
Ab
Roadside men's room"
Verse 6
Ab
So, three nights later at Rusty's door
I had a beer and then I had one more
Db
Ab
Then I headed for the treasure
Just like old Turnpike Tom had said
The machine was under a sign which read
Db
Ab
Sanitary 3- for- a- quarter
B
Bbm
Ebm
So I took out the key and I broke the lock
B
Bbm
There to my bewilderment
Ebm
Eb
and shock
Ab
I found a sign which read
Db
"You've just been had
Ab
Db
In a sanitary way by Turnpike Tom
Ab
The outlaw with the fast
Eb
est sense of humor"
Verse 7
Ab
And if you meet someone
with a troubled mind
Well, just give him the key and
Db
feed him the line
Ab
And tell him his days will soon be better
Verse 8

Yes, and mister,
Bbm
Ebm
you've been taken for a ride
B
Bbm
There ain't nothin' but fools
Ebm
Eb
gold here inside
Ab
Oh, the real gold,
Db
that's inside us all
Ab
Db
Remember that you only fall for
Ab
Eb
Ab
Lies and stories when you really want to
