Kern Ramble - First Boxcar Lyrics

Down by the tracks, the weeds are overgrown
Train goes by, late at night, but it doesn't stop for nothing
Slow down let me step through the door
And lay down on your cold floor
The night went by, I smoked the whole pack
I've made up my mind, there's no turning back

I'm going to hitch a ride on the first boxcar out of town
Jump on a moving train slowing down
I'm going to hitch a ride on the first boxcar out of town
Slip out without a sound

Down by the tracks, a dim lantern shown
Train goes by, late at night, but it doesn't stop for nothing
Roll on to another town
Another place where I can't be found
Death only has what it stole
It takes from the young and it takes from the old

I'm going to hitch a ride on the first boxcar out of town
Jump on a moving train slowing down
I'm going to hitch a ride on the first boxcar out of town
Slip out without a sound
