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
