The Grascals – This Ol’ Train Lyrics
Artist: The Grascals
Song: This Ol’ Train
Ten miles off the rural route was the farm I grew up on
My daddy’s life was between the rows, I just wanted to be gone
Days are long and the sun is hot workin’ tobacco land
You got big city dreams and the hoe don’t fit your hands
I remember how I dreamed about the day I’d ride
Those big steel wheels to Dallas and leave this farm behind
Someday to see the city, meet a girl who’d be my wife
And I owe it all to that ol’ train to save me from this life
That lonesome railroad whistle was music to my ears
That midnight train could one day be my tickеt outta here
A country boy was longin’ to be rollin’ down thе line
And every night I’d ride the rails, if only in my mind
It broke my daddy’s heart, but our plans just weren’t the same
He wanted me to work this land to carry on his name
I headed out to live a dream that’s always been mine
Today ol’ train, I’m ready to leave this farm behind
I remember how I dreamed about the day I’d ride
Those big steel wheels to Dallas and leave this farm behind
Someday to see the city, meet a girl who’d be my wife
And I owe it all to that ol’ train to save me from this life
