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