Railroad Boy Lyrics - Nazareth

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 

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 railroaders 

Are singin' my song
