Boxcars_Butch Hancock

I gave all my money to the banker this month Now I got no more money to spend She smiled when she saw me comin' through the door When I left she said, "Come back again." Well, I watched them lonesome boxcar wheels A turnin' down the tracks out of town And it's on that lonesome railroad track I'm gonna lay my burden down. I looked for my little lady in the lost and found But she had already been claimed I'm gonna find me a ticket to ride To a town that never had no name Nobody may care where I go tonight But baby if the truth be told I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks Watch them lonesome boxcars roll. I was raised on a farm the first years of my life Life was pretty good they say I'll probably live to be some ripe ol' age If this dirty dog death will stay out of my way This world can take my money and time But it sure can't take my soul I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks Watch them lonesome boxcars roll. Well there's some big ol' Buicks by the Baptist church Cadillacs at the Church of Christ I parked my camel by an ol' haystack I'll be lookin for that needle all night You know there ain't gonna be no radial tires A turnin' down the streets of gold I'm goin down to the railroad tracks And watch them lonesome boxcars roll. (Harmonica) If you ever heard the wheels on a fast freight train Beatin' out a beautiful tune If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks Shinin' by the light of the moon And if you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground I know you don't have to be told Why I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks And watch them lonesome boxcars roll. (Guitar & Harmonica)
