Well, I'm movin' along, singin' my song
About coal smoke and valve oil and steam
Daybreak Express and the Rock Island Line
Tennessee Central, the old Number Nine
Full throttle boxcar, a steel drivin' man
Midnight and I'm doin' what I can
I'm holdin' back tears, I'm one brave engineer
Lonesome and lost and in love
Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe
Glendale, Pora Valley, Mystery Train
Coal Mountain, Sligo, a tie walkin' man
Midnight and I'm doin' what I can
But these trains always take me away from you
And right away I want to get back
So I'm leavin' here tonight on the next one that comes
I'm ridin' on the bonus track
I shudder to think I might find that missin' link
That keeps me this tight to the rail
Nickel Plate Road, it's the 7-5-9
Tow River, Memphis, the end of the line
Freedom and friendship, a brakeman's man
Midnight, I'm doin' what I can
These trains, they take me to places unknown
A hobo with dreams in my sack
A parallel world that's all my own
I'm ridin' on the bonus track
