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
And listen to old number three rollin'
Through the night
Ride the train,
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
Southern Pacific
The Overland Express
The Overland Express
And up ahead the coal cars of
West Virginia's best
West Virginia's best
The biggest one of all
I've listened to the Silver Steed's
Lonesome midnight call
Ride the train,
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,
Ride the train
Ride the train
