Good Old American Guest

[Verse 1] Well, I'm longing to ride on a freight train Pull a slouch hat down low on my ears I'm yearning to leave this old town on the flight And loose all my troubles and cares In this day of airplanes and highways Hey the slow way is sometimes the best [Chorus 1] I'm longing to ride on a freight train And be a good old American guest [Chorus 2] Yes I want to live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for And spend a few days headed west [Chorus 1] [Verse 2] Well the pressures of life they got to me And they got down and deep in my soul I'm tired of the rat-race want to go back to the slow pace And hear a fast train rattle and roll I want to live out my days like a hobo And take myself that long-needed rest [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1]
