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 tumbleweed 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 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 railroader's Are singin' my song --- Railroad Boy - Nazareth
