Railroad Song Lynyrd Skynyrd

[Verse 1]
I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee
I was cold, tired and dirty hungry as I could be
But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs
So I asked the policeman
Can I stay here long
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now
We don't want you around
See I'm trying to build me a respectable town
And we don't need a hobo like you hangin' around

[Verse 2]
So I left that town, Lord, had my guitar in my hand
Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man
But this life that I chose to live, sometimes is strange
See I'm trying to learn about the old music from riding the train
I'm a hobo I know, but that's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
I'm-a catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr. Choo-choo train, take me away

Choo-choo train

[Verse 3]
Well I'm-a ride this train Lord until I find out
What Jimmie Rodgers and the Hag was all about
See I, I play this rock n roll, I think that's fine
But I'd like to go back a little further in time
I'm a hobo I know, but that's the price I pay
Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way
Catch me another train and this is what I'll say
Mr. Choo-choo train
Choo-choo train
