Lyrics Cross-tie Walker

I went down to the station, just to take a ride
I went down to the station, just to take a ride
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind
Pulling out from the platform, there was no brass band
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand
And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train
Train, train, train

Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down
I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run
Run, run, run

If you see me a-coming, don't you waste my time
If you see me a-coming, don't you waste my time
'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line
Run, run, run
