I never was so lonesome for my home town
Seems I never was so far away
Now I can here the break of day

I'll have to quit my daily rambling
Tonight I'm gonna start my journal back
Sitting on the top an old box car
Sailing down thay silver stream of track

Eastbound freight train eastbound freight train
Take me home again
Eastbound freight train eastbound freight train
Let me stay til the enf

Now I'll never stray from my hometown
Never leam again to roam
I know that I was born to wonder
But I'm gonna stick around my home

Now I see the smoke a rolling
Out on thar old smoke stack
I'm.sitting on the top of an old box car
Sailing down that silver stream of track
