Em
I'm just a passenger

on this old freight train
         Am                   Em
I ride a box car through the night
                               G
I doesn't matter where I might get off
           Am     F        Em
It doesn't matter where I lay

I've been to cities
I've been to countries
I've left a love in many towns
I don't care if I ever get back to
where I've already been around

I'm like an Eagle
I like to fly high
I'm like the snake I like to lay low
I'm like the black man I'm like the white man
Maybe the red man I don't know

I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride a box car through the night
I doesn't matter where I might get off
It doesn' matter where I lay
