Train Ride

I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

Yeah, I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

I was bound to keep a moving

Guitar in my hand

Well I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

Yeah, I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

They said “Son you’ve got it going on,

But we don’t need no blues around here”

Well, I'm leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

Yeah, I'm leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

I was bound to keep a moving

Guitar in my hand

Well I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

Well I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

They said “Son you’ve got it going on

But we don’t need no blues around here”

I am leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

I am leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

I’ve got to ride this ol’ train line

Until my journey’s end

I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

I was raised by the train line

Down in the southern land

I was bound to keep a moving

Guitar in my hand

Well I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

Well I rode it to the big smoke

And I played until my fingers bled

They said “Son you’ve got it going on

But we don’t need no blues around here”

I am leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

I am leaving in the morning

But I swear I will be back again

I’m gonna ride this train

Until my journey’s end

I’m gonna ride this train

Until my journey’s end

Yeah, I’m gonna ride this train
