Railroad Boy - Nazareth

Hear the whistle blowin' so long

Tellin' me I gotta move along

Coast to coast gonna steal highway

Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak

Get no sleep in a boxcar

Get no piece of line

They catch you jumpin' a freight train

They give you such a hard time

Movin' fast as my time runs out

Coal is something I can live without

Railroad fever got me a route

Like tumblweed I ain’t got no roots

You know no peace in a boxcar

Just can’t sleep on a line

They catch you jumpin' a freight train

They give you such a hard time

(lead)

East coast towns they are

Dark and cold

West coast ladies

They get right to my soul

But you know

Can’t stand long

Bet all rairoader’s

Are singin' my song

(Sweet, Charlton, Agnew, McCafferty)
