• RIDING THE RAILS •
NEVER HAD NO FAMILY TO SPEAK OF
FRIENDS WERE FEW AN' FAR BETWEEN
IT'S EASY FOR ME TO MAKE ENDS MEET
WITH NO OVERHEAD IT'S A POOR MAN'S DREAM
I WAS RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH
RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN THE GOIN' GOT ROUGH
FEELS LIKE HOME IN A STRANGE SORTA WAY
AN' I'LL BE RIDIN' THE RAILS 'TIL MY DYIN' DAY
NEVER HELD DOWN A JOB FOR VERY LONG
NO NINE TO FIVE NOR SUIT AN' TIE
SEEMED TO ME I'D BE BETTER OFF GONE
THAN HANG ON THERE TRYIN' TO LIVE A LIE
I WAS
I WAS RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH
RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN THE GOIN' GOT ROUGH
FEELS LIKE HOME IN A STRANGE SORTA WAY
AN' I'LL BE RIDIN' THE RAILS 'TIL MY DYIN' DAY
NEVER HELD DOWN A JOB FOR VERY LONG
NO NINE TO FIVE NOR SUIT AN' TIE
SEEMED TO ME I'D BE BETTER OFF GONE
THAN HANG ON THERE TRYIN' TO LIVE A LIE
I WAS RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH
RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN THE GOIN' GOT ROUGH
IT FEELS LIKE HOME IN A STRANGE SORTA WAY
AN' I'LL BE RIDIN' THE RAILS 'TIL MY DYIN' DAY
CALL ME A HOBO CALL ME A BUM
BUT I HAVE MY FREEDOM
WHEN ALL'S SAID AN' DONE
I WAS RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH
RIDIN' THE RAILS WHEN THE GOIN' GOT ROUGH
IT FEELS LIKE HOME IN A STRANGE SORTA WAY
I'LL BE RIDIN' THE RAILS 'TIL MY DYIN' DAY
I WAS RIDIN' THE RAILS YEAH RIDIN' THE RAILS
WHEN TIMES WERE TOUGH AN' THE GOIN' GOT ROUGH
FEELS LIKE HOME IN A STRANGE SORTA WAY
I'LL BE RIDIN' THE RAILS RIDIN' THE RAILS
'TIL MY DYING DAY
I GOT MY FREEDOM
