Railroad Song Lyrics

    (ed king - ronnie vanzant)

    I jumped off a boxcar down around tennessee
    I was cold tired and dirty hungry as i could be
    But i had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs
    So i asked the policeman
    Can i stay here long
    He said mr. hobo you got to go now
    We don't want you around
    See i'm trying to build a respectable town
    And we don't need a hobo like you around

    So i left that town, lord with my guitar in my hand
    Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man
    But this life that i chose to live, sometime's strange
    See i'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train
    I'm a hobo i know, but thta's the price i pay
    Guess i'll write me another song while i'm on my way
    Catch me another train and this is what i'll say
    Mr choo-choo train take me away

    I'm goin' to ride this train lord until i find out
    What jimmie rogers and the hag was all about
    See i play this rock n roll and i think that's fine
    But i wnta to go back a little further in time
    I'm a hobo i know but that's the price i pay
    Guess i'll write me another song while i'm on my way
    Catch me another train and this is what i'll say
    Mr choo-choo train take me away
