Ride The Train

Performed By: Alabama
Written By: Teddy Gentry
Album: Feels So Right
1981
(The video takes about 20 seconds to start and has the pops and cracks of a record.)



Orange Blossom Special
The Wabash Cannonball
The Chattanooga Choo-Choo



This 
Hobo's 
seen 
'em 
all














I've watched 
the Sante Fe  Dollywood Express
Lay her smoke against the sky
And listen to old number three rollin'
Through the night



Ride the train, 
Ride the train




Anywhere I'm going I ride trains
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, 
Ride the train







Southern Pacific
The Overland Express
And up ahead the coal cars of 
West Virginia's best



And Oklahoma's Frisco
The biggest one of all
I've listened to the Silver Steed's
Lonesome midnight call





Ride the train, 
Ride the train





Anywhere I'm going I ride trains    
Sleepin' in a boxcar when it rains
Ride the train, 
Ride the train











Ride the train,
Ride the train




Trains
