I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie
I've been to cities
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around
I'm like an eagle
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know
I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie
I've been to cities
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around
I'm like an eagle
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know
I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie
