Old train, I can hear your whistle blow
And I won't be jumpin' on again
Old train, I've been everywhere you go
And I know what lies beyond each bend
Old train, each time you pass
You're older than the last
And it seems I'm too old for runnin'
I hear your rusty wheels
Grate against the rail
They cry with every mile
And I think I'll stay awhile
Old train, I grow weary of the miles
And I miss the freedom that was mine
Old train, just to think about those times
I'll smile when you're high ballin' by
* Refrain
