Train Travelin' (with The Del Mccoury Band) Lyrics - Del Mccoury

Everytime I hear that whistle whine 

From a lonesome locomotive comin' down the line 

It carries my mind away to another place in time 

When train travelin' across the land was the only way to fly 

Am I a fool to think it glamorous 

Box-carrin' like a hobo, it must have been rough 

But a simpler way of life is what it really means to me 

When we weren't so dependent on money to bee free 

I hear you train, are you travelin' my way 

Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday 

Who knows what I could see from that old time machine 

But there you go again train travelin' 

There you go again train travelin' 

I'm lyin' on a rotten wooden floor 

Smell yesterday's whiskey here rattlin' at the door 

Railroad man lookin' for me I'm scared as I can be 

I open my eyes and realize its just another dream 

I hear you train, are you travelin' my way 

Won't you let me ride your rails right back to yesterday 

Who knows what I could see from that old time machine 

But there you go again train travelin' 

There you go again train travelin' 

There you go again train travelin'
