Railroad Man

When I was a little boy back in West Virginia
 We lived very close to a railroad track
 And I remember I used to dream about them trains
 And where they might go
 And the people that worked on the trains
 And the train made music, it made you feel good
 I can remember sometimes
 I could just stand off all by myself
 And just get funky listenin' to the train
 And I used to pick up a handful of gravels
 And throw 'em down on the ground for ties
 ♪
 Yeah, and I'd make up songs, I'd sing
 He was a railroad man
 He was a railroad man
 He was a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 He rode across the plains
 He rode on a fruit freight train
 The hauled bananas to Savannah
 And wore bandannas made in old Japan
 He was a railroad man
 He was a railroad man
 And a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 He used to change his name
 To every place he came
 You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
 And Bangor when he went to Maine
 And a railroad man
 No, he was a railroad man
 And a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 Used to change his name
 To every place he came
 You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
 And Bangor when he went to Maine
 He rode across the plains
 He rode on a fruit freight train
 The hauled bananas to Savannah
 Wore bandannas made in old Japan
 And he was a railroad man
 He was a railroad man
 Oh, a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 Used to change his name
 To each and every place he came
 His name was Tex when he's in Texas
 And Bangor when he went to Maine
 You know, he was a good time railroad man
 Good time railroad man
 Oh, a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 It's alright
 Say you know it's alright
 If you've ever been downtown
 You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
 You know, he was a good time railroad, road
 Good time railroad man
 Oh, a railroad man
 'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train
 He used to change his name
 To each and every place he came
 You know, his name was Tex when he's in Texas
 And Bangor when he went to Maine
 He rode across the plains
 He rode, he rode on a fruit freight train
 The hauled bananas to Savannah
 And wore bandannas made in old Japan
 Oh, railroad man
 Oh, railroad man
 Oh, railroad man
 Stepped in front of the railroad train
