Everytime I hear the lonesome whistle whine

From a lonesome locomotive, comin down the line

It carries me back to another place in time

When train travelin across the land was the only way to fly

Am I a fool to think it glamorous

Box-Carring like a hobo, it must have been rough

But a simple way of life is what it really means to me

When we weren't so dependent on money to be free

I hear you train, are you travelin my way

Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday

Who knows what I could see from that ole time machine

But there you go again train travelin, There you go again train travelin

I'm lying on a rotten wooden floor

Smell yesterday's whiskey here rattlin' at the door

A railroad man lookin' for me, I'm scared as I can be

I open my eyes and realize it's just another dream

Repeat Chorus twice

But there you go again train travelin

There you go again train travelin
