Like a freight train, I'm running down the tracks
Going forward never looking back
Don't know where I'm going, I think I know where I've been
I'm going to places that I've never seen
I see you walk by and you're very sweet
But I don't know what I'm supposed to be
I'm dreaming of the people that I'm going to meet
These tracks are long and the end I can't see
Hopping and rolling we move along
Making up the words to another song
But I don't know if it's good or bad
I just know about the fun we had
Sitting down to a meal
Some fine wine, some fine veal
The dining car rattles along
Were making conversation but thinking about this song
I don't know but if I can I will try
It's just the way I am shooting for the sky
I always want to be the man that I'm not
Like Johnny Cash, but he's got the things I don't got
Something about you write a song, that gets them all hopping and rolling along
Got to find the key to that security lock
Open the door and see how they rock
Like a freight train I'm running down the track
I'm going forward, never looking back
Well Johnny Cash likes his veal
Now we'll never know how Johnny feels
