This song's about somebody's wife who's trying to leave him behind and start a new life, but he manages to catch the train by swinging onto caboose on a mule. It's also about the Katy, or the MKT, which is the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railway. There are still places in the Midwest where the old train stations still are. This is the opening to the "Blues Brothers".
