[00:02.07]
[00:14.96] Well I gave all my money to the bankers
[00:17.51]
[00:18.64] Now I got no more money to spend
[00:21.06]
[00:22.47] She smiled when she saw me comin' through that door
[00:25.45]
[00:26.16] When I left she said "Come back again"
[00:28.19]
[00:29.67] I watched them lonesome boxcar
[00:32.52]
[00:33.62] Turnin' down the tracks out of town
[00:35.92]
[00:37.34] And it's on that lonesome railroad track
[00:39.96]
[00:40.58] I'm gonna lay my burden down
[00:43.24]
[00:50.16] I was raised on a farm the first years of my life
[00:53.33]
[00:54.24] Life was pretty good they say
[00:56.30]
[00:57.50] I'll probably live to be some ripe old age
[01:00.61]
[01:01.33] If death'll just stay out of my way
[01:03.53]
[01:04.70] This world can take my money and time
[01:07.97]
[01:08.66] But it sure can't take my soul
[01:11.12]
[01:12.60] I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
[01:15.77] Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
[01:18.36]
[01:25.30] There's some big old Buicks by the Baptist church
[01:28.67]
[01:29.36] Cadillacs at the Church of Christ
[01:31.54]
[01:32.81] I parked my camel by an old haystack
[01:35.81]
[01:36.58] I'll be lookin' for that needle all night
[01:39.21]
[01:39.99] There ain't gonna be no radial tires
[01:43.49]
[01:44.19] Turnin' down the streets of gold
[01:46.32]
[01:47.82] I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
[01:50.66]
[01:51.16] Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
[01:53.51]
[02:35.91] Now if you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train
[02:39.22]
[02:39.88] Beatin' out a beautiful tune
[02:41.98]
[02:42.99] If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
[02:46.44]
[02:47.22] Shinin' by the light of the moon
[02:49.45]
[02:50.59] If you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground
[02:53.73]
[02:54.51] I know you don't have to be told
[02:57.15]
[02:58.18] Why I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
[03:01.22]
[03:01.85] Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
[03:04.49]
[03:11.39] Yeah I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
[03:14.88] Watch them lonesome boxcars
