Lynyrd Skynyrd - Railroad Song lyrics

(ed king - ronnie vanzant) I jumped off a boxcar down around tennessee I was cold tired and dirty hungry as i could be But i had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs So i asked the policeman Can i stay here long He said mr. hobo you got to go now We don't want you around See i'm trying to build a respectable town And we don't need a hobo like you around So i left that town, lord with my guitar in my hand Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man But this life that i chose to live, sometime's strange See i'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train I'm a hobo i know, but thta's the price i pay Guess i'll write me another song while i'm on my way Catch me another train and this is what i'll say Mr choo-choo train take me away I'm goin' to ride this train lord until i find out What jimmie rogers and the hag was all about See i play this rock n roll and i think that's fine But i wnta to go back a little further in time I'm a hobo i know but that's the price i pay Guess i'll write me another song while i'm on my way Catch me another train and this is what i'll say Mr choo-choo train take me away
