Railroad Boy (B-Side) Songtext
von Nazareth

Hear the whistle blowin′ strong
Tellin' me I gotta move along
Coast-to-coast on a steel highway
Railroad boy until my dying day

Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin′ a freight train
They give you such a hard time

Movin' fast as my time runs out
Home is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumbleweed, I ain't got no roots


Get no peace in a boxcar
Just can′t sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin′ a freight train
They give you such a hard time

East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul

But you know
Can't stay long
Get all railroaders
To singin′ my song


Get no peace in a boxcar
Just can't sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin′ a freight train
They give you such a hard time
Get no peace in a boxcar
Just can't sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin′ a freight train
They give you such a hard time
