(…the whole f-ckin’ thing)

[verse 1]
when i was just fourteen years old
i grabbed a greyhound from my home
headed west where they sleep out every night
yeah, but i quickly realized
you got no dough, you get no ride
and them old boxcars started lookin’ mighty fine

[verse 2]
i hopped a hot shot outta winslow
rode the blinds until my hands [?]
took my chances skippin’ ‘cross ties on the fly
i bummed a sandwich from a brakeman
shook his hand and changed direction
jumped a junker up that kansas city line

[chorus]
you’ve heard this tale a hundred times
but this story’s true to life
still got the slack action bangin’ in my brain
well ol’ jimmy’s dead and gone
but this hobo rambles on
i said you’re godd-mn right, wrote another song about a train

[verse 3]
well, this next load, and road
[?] shake my soul
take me where them iron horses run
yeah, i received my education
on the freight trains of our nation
singin’ lordy hallelujah, i’m a bum

[verse 4]
so if you got ramblin’ in your bones
just take a ride with casey jones
leave your troubles on a platform with a smile
grab your [breath?] and get to runnin’
can’t you hear them [?] hummin’
let them eight-wheels do the rollin’ for a while

[chorus]
you’ve heard this tale a hundred times
but this story’s true to life
still got the slack action bangin’ in my brain
well ol’ jimmy’s dead and gone
but this hobo rambles on
i said you’re godd-mn right, wrote another song about a train

[instrumental]

[chorus]
you’ve heard this tale a hundred times
but this story’s true to life
still got the slack action bangin’ in my brain
well ol’ jimmy’s dead and gone
but this hobo rambles on
i said you’re godd-mn right, wrote another song about a train
