1
Used to wake up with the chickens before daylight
2
And hear a whistle blow far down the line
3
That old freight train rolling through my town
4
And I'd hit that dirt road running hard and fast
5
To the post office depot where she would pass
6
That old freight train rolling through my town
7
Lay a hand on the rail and feel the rumbling
8
And look down the track to see her coming
9
That freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town
10
And I'd count each car as she rolled on by
11
And dream someday about taking a ride
12
If I could only touch her and know she was real
13
Feel that coat of iron and that heart of steel
14
From Santa Fe to New Orleans going places this poor boy has never seen
15
On a freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town
16
Well time rolls on like that old freight train
17
Leavin' only a childhood's dream to remain
18
As those freight trains roll through my town
19
And here I sit on this porch with my old black hound
20
Every evening when the sun goes down
21
Watching freight trains rolling through my town
22
There's something in my heart a fascination to ride the rails across this nation
23
On a freight train Lord that old freight train rolling through my town
24
And I still count each car as she rolled on by
25
And dream someday about taking a ride
26
Mr Hobo how I envy you rolling away into the wild blue
27
From Santa Fe to New Orleans going places this ol' lad has never seen
28
On a freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town
29
Rolling through my town rolling through my town
