When I look yonder comin', baby comin' down the railroad track
Look  yonder comin', baby comin' down the railroad track
It's  that Cactus Blossom Special haulin' my baby back

I was born in the evenin' with a thundercloud above my head
I was born in the evenin' with the rain fallin' my head
Well  that rain keep on fallin' and it will until the day I'm dead

Next  time you see me I'll be movin' down that ol' highway
Next time you see me I'll be movin' down that old highway
Oh  but I ain't goin' nowhere, buddy I been here to stay, yeah

Somebody said that I been talking but I don't know much
Somebody said that I been talking but I don't know much
And everybody back home said I done lost my touch

Maybe  I'll be movin', but my pickup, it done broke down
Maybe I'll be movin', but my Jimmy done broke down
I'm gonna hitch my ride, boy, move until the sun come 'round

When I look yonder comin', baby comin' down this railroad track
Look yonder comin', baby comin' down this railroad track
It's that Cactus Blossom Special haulin' my baby back
It's that Cactus Blossom Special haulin' my baby back
