Railroad Song Lyrics - Nuthin' Fancy - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee 

I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be 

But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs 

So I asked the policeman 

Can I stay here long 

He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now 

We don't want you around 

See I'm trying to build a respectable town 

And we don't need a hobo like you around 

So I left that town, Lord with my guitar in my hand 

Still cold and tired, kinda mad at the man 

But this life that I chose to live, sometime's strange 

See I'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train 

I'm a hobo I know, but thta's the price I pay 

Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way 

Catch me another train and this is what I'll say 

Mr Choo-choo train take me away 

I'm goin' to ride this train Lord until I find out 

What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about 

See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine 

But I want to go back a little further in time 

I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay 

Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way 

Catch me another train and this is what I'll say 

Mr Choo-choo train take me away
