I never was so lonesome for my home town Seems I never was so far away Now I can here the break of day I'll have to quit my daily rambling Tonight I'm gonna start my journal back Sitting on the top an old box car Sailing down thay silver stream of track Eastbound freight train eastbound freight train Take me home again Eastbound freight train eastbound freight train Let me stay til the enf Now I'll never stray from my hometown Never leam again to roam I know that I was born to wonder But I'm gonna stick around my home Now I see the smoke a rolling Out on thar old smoke stack I'm.sitting on the top of an old box car Sailing down that silver stream of track
