Fast Freight Songtext

von Nuestro Pequeño Mundo

Ooo
As I listen for the whistle, I awake and wait.
Wish the railroad didn't run so near,
'Cause that rattle and that clatter, that old fast freight
Keeps a-makin' music in my ear.

Go home again, go home again. Ooo
Hear the whistle blow, hear the whistle blow.
Every night, every night,
The wheels are saying to the railroad track.
Well, if you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go-ooo,
You can't come back.

I couldn't give a nickel for the man I use to be
Work as hard as any man in town.
I got a purty girl. She thinks the world of me.
Man, would be a fool to let her down.

Go home again, go home again. Ooo
Hear the whistle blow, hear the whistle blow.
Every night, every night,
The wheels are saying to the railroad track.
Well, if you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go-ooo,
You can't come back.

So every night I listen, wonder if it's late.
In my dreams I ride upon that train.
I feel my pulse a-beatin' with the old fast freight
Thank the Lord I'm just a bum again.

Go home again, go home again. Ooo
Hear the whistle blow, hear the whistle blow.
Every night, every night,
The wheels are saying to the railroad track.
Well, if you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go, you can't come back.
If you go-ooo,
You can't come back.
