Lyrics

Boxcar

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm just a passenger

on this old freight train

I ride the boxcar

through the night

I doesn't matter

where I might get off

I doesn't matter where I lie.

I've been to cities,

I've been to countries

I've left a lover in many towns

I don't care if

I ever get back to

Where I'd already been around.

I'm like an eagle,

I like to fly high

I'm like a snake,

I like to lay low

I'm like a black man,

I'm like a white man

Maybe a red man, I don't know.

I'm just a passenger

on this old freight train

I ride the boxcar

through the night

I doesn't matter

where I might get off

I doesn't matter where I lie
