This boxcar's been my home since St Antone 'Cause this ankle of mine I turned while hoppin' on Shoots pain that feeds my dreams with luxuries I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy I can feel my mother's heartbeat from the track It's the rhythm of a son that won't be back Lord knows where my mind is takin' me I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through Just to be here on this train once again Freedom of a hobo ain't so bad You can dream of all the wealth you might've had I guess livin' on this train is gettin' to me I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through Just to be here on this train once again If there's nothing in this world I've gotta do But to ride these rails of steel my whole life through Then take away these visions that I see Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
