What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well I gave all my money to the banker this month
2
Now I got no more money to spend
3
She smiled when she saw me comin' through that door
4
When I left she said, "Come back again."
5
I watched them lonesome boxcar wheels
6
Turnin' down the tracks out of town
7
And it's on that lonesome railroad track
8
I'm gonna lay my burden down.
9
I was raised on a farm the first years of my life
10
Life was pretty good they say
11
I'll probably live to be some ripe ol' age
12
If death'll stay out of my way
13
This world can take my money and time
14
But it sure can't take my soul
15
I'm goin' down to the railroad tracks
16
Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
17
There's some big ol' Buicks at the Baptist church
18
Caddilacs at the Church of Christ
19
I parked my camel by an ol' haystack
20
I'll be lookin for that needle all night
21
There ain't gonna be no radial tires
22
Turnin' down the streets of gold
23
I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
24
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll
25
Now if you ever heard the whistle on a fast freight train
26
Beatin' out a beautiful tune
27
If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
28
Shinin' by the light of the moon
29
If you ever felt the locomotive shake the ground
30
I know you don't have to be told
31
Why I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
32
And watch them lonesome boxcars roll.
33
Yeah, I'm goin down to the railroad tracks
34
Watch them lonesome boxcars roll
