Good Old American Guest

Well I'm longing to ride on a freight trainPut a slouch hat down low on the earsI'm yearning to leave this old town on the flightAnd loose all my troubles and caresIn this day of airplanes and highwaysHey the slow way is sometimes the bestI'm longing to ride on a freight trainAnd be a good old american guestYes, I wanna live on the land thatI've loved and I've labored for and spend a few days headed westI'm longing to ride on a freight trainAnd be a good old american guestWell, the pressures of life they got to meAnd they got down deep in my soulI'm tired of the rat-race wanna go back to the slow paceAnd hear a fast train rattle and rollI wanna live out my days like a hoboAnd take myself that long-needed restHey, hey I'm longing to ride on a freight trainAnd be a good old american guestYeah, I wanna live on the land thatI've loved and I've labored for and spend a few days headed westI'm longing to ride on a freight trainAnd be a good old american guestOh, yes I'm longing to ride on a freight trainAnd be a good old american guest, oh yeah
