I took the first train I saw -
It'll surely take me home.
If I had a Momma -
At least I'd have a place to go.
But Im just a guttersnipe
I got no place to wipe my nose
I jumped the first train I saw.
It'll surely take me home
A buzzard riding the rail
I steal my meals when all else fails
I'm right at home on the line
I'm well on my way to feeeeaalin' fine.
I been to Juarez.
I been to Houston, Batton Rougue
I got some good friends,
Some folks to really help me through
I been all over,
I spend my time just like I do
I stay out of trouble
But it's got a way of finding you.
A buzzard riding the rail
I steal my means when all else fails
I'm right at home on the line
But I'm well on my way to feelin' fine.
A buzzard riding the rail
I steal my means when all else fails
I'm ...??
But I'm well on my way to feelin' fine.
