Gonna give 'em that two four four on the floor

Like them outlaw boys done did before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along

I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

On a wing and a prayer and a glorified Greyhound bus

Flying down the road running 9-0 and kicking up dust

Drinking truck stop coffee counting birds on those telephone wires

Burning the midnight oil and the tread off these ol' Goodyear tires

Gonna give 'em that two four four on the floor

Like them outlaw boys done did before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along

I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

And sometimes my mind is a million miles away

I know you're sound asleep at home while I'm on this stage

And I'm missing you wishing I was kissing you every day

But girl I gotta keep on rolling, rolling like an old freight train

And it's a mighty lonesome sound when there's not a soul around

To help you ease your pain

But you gotta keep rolling, rolling like an old freight train

Gonna give 'em that two four four on the floor

Like them outlaw boys done did before

Got the pretty girls out there beggin' for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doing my thing, singing my song, right on track I'm chuggin' along

I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

Comin' on down the line

Feel that diesel engine wind

Smell the smokestack

Hear the gears grind

Full steam ahead

Half way outta my mind

I'm too far gone to be turnin' back

Going clickety clack on the railroad track

I'm here and gone like yesterday rolling like an old freight train

Just like an ol' freight train

Tell me do you wanna ride this train
