Well, I can hear that freight train rolling
down in the freight wheel yard.
I can hear that freight train roll.
Down in that freight rail yard.
And I should leave this town tonight, but
I know it's just honey too hard.
When you hear those wheels turning,
your heart is burning.
You hear those wheels turning, you got to move.
Hear the wheels burning.
But I can't leave tonight, babe.
Even though I feel so blue.
Now, if I would leave this town,
make something better of myself.
If I was to leave this town,
I might make something better of myself.
Oh, but riding that freight train
is not so good for my health.
I can hear that whistle blow.
Hear the freight train rumbling deep and low.
I can hear the wheels turning.
And hear that rumbling deep and low.
I can hear that freight train call.
Oh, but I just don't want to go.
