Lynyrd Skynyrd — Railroad Song

[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 hagnin' 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 Catch me another train and this is what I'll say Mr. Choo-choo train take me away [Verse 3] I'm going to ride this train Lord until I find out What Jimmie Rodgers and the Hag was all about See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine But I want 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 take me away
