Lyrics:
wang dang doodle
Wang dang doodle, ooo
Tell Fats and Washboard Sam
That everybody's gonna jam
Just shake it Boxcar Joe
We got sawdust on the floor
railroad bum"
He slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above
saw him down in Birmingham
Sleeping in a boxcar going by
And if you think that you can tell a bigger tale
I swear to God you'd have to tell a lie
stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass
But they're moving so fast
As I watch them
sugar go up
Be better off
If i was driving a trailer truck
Like boxcar willie
I played these blues and made me a bum
I'm gonna give up this music
Move
they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside
The clouds they pass
But they're
baby
Or the lure of the highway on my mind
I long to hear that whistle
Of the freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line
Don't fall in
Ev'ry time you come around
I hear that lonesome sound
Ooh, train of memories
Boxcars go flyin' by
With all my dreams inside
Ooh, train
slammed the boxcar door
He put me off in Texas it's a place I dearly love
With the wide open spaces all around me and the moon and stars up above
Every time you come around
I hear that lonesome sound
Ooh, train of memories
Boxcars go flyin' by
With all my dreams inside
Ooh, train of memories
girl, rodeo girl
Count all the boxcars
The blue and white stars
That fall for ya rodeo girl
You're lost in the desert
And it's too hot to think
way
32 walls come tumbling down and the night turns to day
32 infantrymen running in place
32 boxcars, all of them have your face
What's
buddy, I heard about the boxcars and the family of travelers
But there's real estate sides in the cornfields
I know there's love, I bet there's trouble
an example you're the one I choose
For page two news it's my retrieval of you
I've got a boxcar with blankets and bread
In sector 9 where no one goes
I
the Joker flew out of that boxcar door, his cape was a billowing sail
The Four ol' Brokes were holdin' their sides, watchin' him cut a trail
The freight
out the same
No matter how you think of it, or look at it
Its life and you just got to play the game
Find my place in the boxcar
So I take my
off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door
They put me off in Texas a place I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me and the moon
[Repeat: x3]
Tell Fats and Washboard Sam, that everybody gonna to jam
Tell Shaky and Boxcar Joe, we got sawdust on the floor
Tell Peg and Caroline Dye,
here like a freight train
But I slipped my gears
I paid a price for everything
You can't play it down
They'll kick you off an empty boxcar
to the wind.
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.
Like thieves, my bad luck grows.
Jewel box of sadness, bring to catch your tear
She looked down the railroad track
Lined with trees on each side
She prayed for the strength to run to the boxcar
To pull herself up for the ride
You
a eight by twelve four bit room
I'm a man of means by no means king of the road
Third boxcar midnight train destination Bangor Maine
Old worn out suit
a eight-by-twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means, by no means
King of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination: Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
have and always will
Behind me all my yesterdays go
Stretching out like boxcars
Disappearing round some hill
I always thought life was for living
