Green light special out of Santa Fe That’s the train I ride. Blow that whistle night or day Swing from side to side Sand off the track Gotta keep that freight train rolling
I never been on a train before 50 boxcars long. I never smelled the smoke that pours out on my dreamboat’s farm Sand off the track Gotta keep that green grass growing
Oh mama, gonna stop that train tonight Oh mama, gonna take my bags inside.
I can’t be no switching man I can’t drive no train I can’t wear no wedding band I can’t fly no plane. Sand off the track. Gotta keep that freight train running.
Oh mama, gonna stop that train tonight Oh mama, gonna take my bags inside.
I can’t me no consumer good grown in my hometown. i can’t find me no chopping wood or no wedding gowns. Sand off the track. Gotta keep that freight train rolling.
Green light special out of Santa Fe That’s the train I ride. Blow that whistle night or day Swing from side to side Sand off the track Gotta keep that freight train rolling Sand off the track Gotta keep that freight train rolling Sand off the track
