Cross-Tie Walker

[Verse 1] I went down to the station just to take a ride I went down to the station just to take a ride Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind [Verse 2] Pulling out from the platform, there was no brass band I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand And there were no tears of regret from the runaway train Train, train, train, train [Verse 3] Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down I'm just a cross-tie walker where the freight trains run Run, run, run, run [Verse 4] If you see me a-coming, don't you waste my time If you see me a-coming, don't you waste my time 'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line Run, run, run, run [Outro] Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
