[Verse 1]
I'm Texas bound, freight train on my mind
I’m Texas bound, I got a freight train on my mind
If you miss me on the local, look for me on the blind
[Verse 2]
My suitcase is packed, my trunk's already on
My suitcase is packed, my trunk's already on
Said you can know by that, your sweet papa soon will be gone
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Just look around the corner, see that passenger train
Just look around the corner, see that passenger train
Be a long, long time before you see my face again
[Verse 4]
Takes a good old fireman, a cool kind engineer
It takes a good old fireman, cool kind engineer
That’ll pull that train, take me away from here
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
I'm Texas bound, got no time to lose
I'm Texas bound, got no time to lose
'Cause my sweet mama quit me, left me with the Texas blues
