Railroad Boy Lyrics

Railroad Boy

Hear the whistle blowin` so long
Tellin` me I gotta move along
Coast to coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak

Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin` a freight train
They give you such a hard time

Movin` fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumblweed I ain`t got no roots

You know no peace in a boxcar
Just can`t sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin` a freight train
They give you such a hard time

(lead)

East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul
     
But you know
Can`t stand long
Bet all rairoader`s
Are singin` my song

(Sweet, Charlton, Agnew, McCafferty)
