Freight Train Video (MV)

Used to wake up with the chickens before daylight

And hear a whistle blow far down the line

That old freight train rolling through my town

And I'd hit that dirt road running hard and fast

To the post office depot where she would pass

That old freight train rolling through my town

Lay a hand on the rail and feel the rumbling

And look down the track to see her coming

That freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town

And I'd count each car as she rolled on by

And dream someday about taking a ride

If I could only touch her and know she was real

Feel that coat of iron and that heart of steel

From Santa Fe to New Orleans going places this poor boy has never seen

On a freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town



Well time rolls on like that old freight train

Leavin' only a childhood's dream to remain

As those freight trains roll through my town

And here I sit on this porch with my old black hound

Every evening when the sun goes down

Watching freight trains rolling through my town

There's something in my heart a fascination to ride the rails across this nation

On a freight train Lord that old freight train rolling through my town

And I still count each car as she rolled on by

And dream someday about taking a ride

Mr Hobo how I envy you rolling away into the wild blue

From Santa Fe to New Orleans going places this ol' lad has never seen

On a freight train yeah that old freight train rolling through my town

Rolling through my town rolling through my town
