Boxcars

Lyrics

I gave all my money to the banker this month I got no more money to spend He smiled when he saw me coming through the door When I left he said come back again But I watched some lonesome boxcar wheels Turning down the tracks out of town It's on the lonesome railroad track I'm gonna lay my burden down I look for my man in the lost and found He had already been claimed And I'm gonna found me a ticket to ride To a town that never had no name Nobody would care where I'd go at night But darling if the truth be told I'm going down to the railroad tracks Watch them lonesome boxcars roam There's a big old Buick at the Baptist church Cadillacs at the Church of Christ I park my camel by an old haystack I'll be looking for that needle all night There ain't gonna be no radial ties Running down the streets of gold I'm going down to the railroad tracks Watch them lonesome boxcars roam If you ever see the wheels of a fast freight train Beating out a beautiful tune If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks Shining by the light of the moon If you ever felt a locomotive shake the ground I know you don't need to be told Well I'm going down to the railroad tracks Watch them lonesome boxcars roam
