Lyrics:

I gave all my money to the banker this month
I got no more money to spend
He smiled when he saw me coming through the door
When I left he said come back again
But I watched some lonesome boxcar wheels
Turning down the tracks out of town
It's on the lonesome railroad track
I'm gonna lay my burden down
I look for my man in the lost and found
He had already been claimed
And I'm gonna found me a ticket to ride
To a town that never had no name
Nobody would care where I'd go at night
But darling if the truth be told
I'm going down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roam
There's a big old Buick at the Baptist church
Cadillacs at the Church of Christ
I park my camel by an old haystack
I'll be looking for that needle all night
There ain't gonna be no radial ties
Running down the streets of gold
I'm going down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roam

If you ever see the wheels of a fast freight train
Beating out a beautiful tune
If you ever seen the cold blue railroad tracks
Shining by the light of the moon
If you ever felt a locomotive shake the ground
I know you don't need to be told
Well I'm going down to the railroad tracks
Watch them lonesome boxcars roam
