Lyrics

[00:18.43] Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
[00:21.17] I'm tired of transportation in the back of hack
[00:23.85] I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity clack
[00:26.73] And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
[00:29.74] And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
[00:32.41] So, take me right back to the track, Jack
[00:35.44] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[00:38.12] Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
[00:41.01] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[00:43.78] Take me right back to the track, Jack
[00:48.00]
[01:05.08] You reach your destination, but alas and alack
[01:06.77] You need some compensation to get back in the black
[01:09.68] You take your morning paper from the top of the stack
[01:12.30] And read the situation from the front to the back
[01:15.21] The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
[01:17.93] So put it right back in the rack, Jack
[01:21.00] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[01:23.76] Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
[01:26.47] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[01:29.36] Take me right back to the track, Jack
[01:34.08]
[02:04.20] Gonna settle down by the railroad track
[02:03.18] Live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack
[02:06.05] So when I hear a whistle I can peak through the crack
[02:08.73] And watch the train a rollin' when they're ballin' the jack
[02:11.40] I just love the rhythm of the clickity clack
[02:14.16] So, take me right back to the track, Jack
[02:17.44] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[02:20.02] Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
[02:22.92] Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
[02:25.89] Take me right back to the track, Jack
[02:28.87]
[02:37.05] Take me right back to the track, Jack
[02:41.81]
