Railroad Line





Verse

1 / 1-4 / 1 / 1 1 / 1 / 5 / 5 1 / 1 / 6m / 6m 3m / 5 / 1 / 1

Chorus

4 / 2m / 5 / 1 4 / 2m / 5 / 5
The clickety sound of the southbound freight
And the high speed hum of the passenger train
Becomes a part of the soul and a heart and the mind
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line

The sound of a whistle at the crossin' road
And the tanks and the trucks and the tractors on the flat car load
Becomes a part of the soul and a heart and the mind
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line

    And the big round penny that you lay on the rails and the wheels mash flat
    And a glimpse of the ladies and the pictures of the men in the engineer's hat

And the brakeman waves from the red caboose
It's a part of the past, never quite turns loose
It's a part of a soul and the heart and the mind
Of a boy who's raised by the railroad line
