===============================
He was older than the depot
Where the trains run out of Nashville
And a million miles reflected on his face
He held a deep relation
To that old run down station
And oh soon they'd both be gone without a trace
He talked about old engine
As if it were an old friend
And he loved to make that
Lonesome whistle whine
With his head held out the window
His hand upon the throttle
And the winds of freedom
Blowing through his mind
[He said, "You'll never get to
Heaven on a freight train
But you can leave your blues behind
No, you'll never get to heaven on a freight train
But you can ride it to the end of the line."]
There was forty years of knowing
The whistle he was blowing
Was enough to send the shiver through their veins
Hauling out the hobo's
And the local skidrow winos
And anyone who loved a good fast train
[He said, "You'll never get to
Heaven on a freight train
But you can leave your blues behind
No, you'll never get to heaven on a freight train
But you can ride it to the end of the line."]
Now the engine's old and rusty
Stations dark and dusty
And papa's gone to claim his last reward
Now I know old trains don't run to heaven
But I swear,... as he was leavin
I heard an angel calling
All aboard
[And I bet he went to heaven on a freight train
I bet he rode it one more time
Yes, I bet he went to heaven on a freight train
I bet he rode it to the end of the line]
[And I bet he went to heaven on a freight train
I bet he rode it one more time
Yes, I bet he went to heaven on a freight train
I bet he rode it to the end of the line]
