Yonder Comes a Freight Train - Laura Cantrell

Hopped a freight train out of nashville

Rode it up to ohio

Made my way to detroit city

Where I stayed a week or so

Hauled a ride to chicago

With a truck drivin' man

An' I stayed there for the summer

Singin' with a country band

Every time I hear a freight train

Lonesome whistle blow

I think about the good man

I got waitin' on me at home

Yonder comes a freight train

Movin' on down the line

Yonder comes a freight train

Listen to that engine whine

I'm gettin' off that old train

I'm goin' back to that good good man of mine

Hopped the freight out of chicago thought

That it was southern bound

Ended up in new york city

Where we travel underground

Caught a ride with a crew truck

Went from charlotte to la

Made my way back to atlanta

But I wasn't there to stay

Thumbed a ride with a couple

Goin' to see river falls

Only thirty miles from nashville well

I'll get back if I have to crawl

Yonder comes a freight train

Movin' on down the line

Yonder comes a freight train

Listen to that engine whine

I'm gettin' off that old train

I'm goin' back to that good good man of mine

Yonder comes a freight train

Movin' on down the line

Yonder comes a freight train

Listen to that engine whine

I'm gettin' off that old train

I'm goin' back to that good good man of mine

I'm gettin' off that old train

I'm goin' back
