Nazareth - Railroad Boy Lyrics






Hear the whistle blowin' so long
Tellin' me I gotta move along
Coast to coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak

Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin' a freight train
They give you such a hard time

Movin' fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumblweed I ain't got no roots

You know no peace in a boxcar
Just can't sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin' a freight train
They give you such a hard time

[lead]

East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul

But you know
Can't stand long
Bet all rairoader's
Are singin' my song
