Aaron Watson – Freight Train Lyrics

Country

I'm gonna give 'em that 2-4, 4-on-4
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give 'em all what they came here for
Doin' my thing, singin' my song
Right on track, I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rollin' like an old freight train

On a wing and a prayer and a glorified Greyhound bus
Flyin' down the road, runnin' 9.0 and kickin' up dust
Drinking truck stop coffee, counting birds on those telephone wires
Burnin' the midnight oil in the tread of these old Goodyear tires

I'm gonna give 'em that old 2-4, 4-on-4
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give 'em all what they came here for
Doin' my thing, singin' my song
Right on track, I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rollin' like an old freight train

And sometimes my mind is a million miles away
I know you're sound asleep at home while I'm on this stage
And I'm missin' you, wishin' I was kissin' you every day
But girl, I gotta keep rollin'
Rollin' like an old freight train
Here come that old freight train

And it's a mighty lonesome sound when there's not a soul around
To help you ease your pain
But you gotta keep rollin'
Rollin' like an old freight train
Let me hear ya now, come on

I'm gonna give 'em that old 2-4, 4-on-4
Like them outlaw boys done did before
Got pretty girls out there beggin' for more
Gotta give 'em all what they came here for
Doin' my thing, singin' my song
Right on track, I'm chuggin' along
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rollin' like an old freight train

Comin' on down the line, feel that diesel engine whine
Smell the smoke stack tickety-skrine
Full steam ahead, half way outta my mind
I'm too far gone to be turnin' back
Hear 'em clickety-clack down the railroad track
I'm here and gone like yesterday
Rollin' like an old freight train
Just like an old freight train
Tell me, do you wanna ride this train?
