1
My Grandaddy was a railroad man
2
When I was young he took me by the hand
3
Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn
4
Said "boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone"
5
She was blue and silver, she was right on time
6
We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line
7
We had some sandwiches that Granma packed
8
We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back
9
Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
10
That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome whistle wail
11
When I got old enough to take the train alone
12
I rode that Texas Eagle down to San Antone
13
Nowadays they don't make no trains
14
Just the piggyback freighters and them Amtrak things
15
They shut the Eagle down awhile ago
16
Sold it to the railroad down in Mexico
17
But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
18
I ride that Texas Eagle cross the borderline
