Fast Freight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I listen for the whistle, I awake and wait Wish the railroad didn't run so near 'Cause that rattle and that clatter, that old fast freight Keeps a-makin' music in my ear [Pre-Chorus] Go home again, go home again, ooh Hear the whistle blow (Hey now, boy) Hear the whistle blow [Chorus] Every night, every night The wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come back If you go-oh You can't come back [Verse 2] I couldn't give a nickel for the man I used to be Work as hard as any man in town I got a pretty girl, she thinks the world for me Man, would be a fool to let hеr down [Pre-Chorus] Go home again (Hey, hey, hеy, hey), go home again, ooh Hear the whistle blow Hear the whistle blow [Chorus] Every night, every night The wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back Well, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come back If you go-oh You can't come back [Verse 3] So, every night I listen, wonder if it's late In my dreams I ride upon that train I feel my pulse a-beatin' with the old fast freight Thank the Lord I'm just a bum again [Pre-Chorus] Go home again, go home again, ooh Hear the whistle blow (Hey now, boy) Hear the whistle blow [Chorus] Every night, every night The wheels are saying to the railroad track Well, if you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come back If you go, you can't come back If you go-oh You can't come back
