Well I'm longin' to ride on a freight train pull a slouch hat down low on my ears I'm yearnin' to leave this old town on the flight and lose all my trouble and cares In this day of airplanes and highways Hey the slow way is sometimes the best I'm longin' to ride on a freight train and be a good old American guest I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for and spend a few days headed west I'm longin' to ride on a freight train and be a good old American guest (solos follow verse changes) Well the pressures of life they got to me and they got down deep inside my soul I'm tired of the rat race wanna go back to the slow pace and hear a fast freight train rattle and roll I wanna live out my days like a hobo and take myself that long needed rest Hey I'm lookin' to ride on a freight train and be a good old American guest I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for and spend a few days headed west I'm longin' to ride on a freight train and be a good old American guest I'm longin' to ride on a freight train and be a good old American guest
