Lynyrd Skynyrd Nuthin' Fancy Railroad Song



(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
