Boxcars歌词

Well I gave all my money to the bankers

Now I got no more money to spend

She smiled when she saw me comin' through that door

When I left she said "Come back again"

I watched them lonesome boxcar

Turnin' down the tracks out of town

And it's on that lonesome railroad track

I'm gonna lay my burden down

I was raised on a farm the first years of my life

Life was pretty good they say

I'll probably live to be some ripe old age

If death'll just stay out of my way

This world can take my money and time

But it sure can't take my soul

I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roll

There's some big old Buicks by the Baptist church

Cadillacs at the Church of Christ

I parked my camel by an old haystack

I'll be lookin' for that needle all night

There ain't gonna be no radial tires

Turnin' down the streets of gold

I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks

Watch them lonesome boxcars roll

Now if you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train

Beatin' out a beautiful tune

If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks

Shinin' by the light of the moon

If you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground

I know you don't have to be told

Why I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks

Watch them lonesome boxcars roll

Yeah I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars
