Boxcar

I'm like an eagle,

I like to fly high

I'm like a snake,

I like to lay low

I'm like a black man,

I'm like a white man

Maybe a red man, I don't know.

I'm just a passenger

On this ol' freight train

I ride a boxcar

Through the night

It doesn't matter

Where I might get off

It doesn't matter where I lie.

(Oohh)

When the coast line is under water

And the desert line is under dust

And the mountain line is closed forever

In the great spirit I place my trust.

I'm just a passenger

On this ol' freight train

I ride a boxcar

Through the night

It doesn't matter

Where I might get off

It doesn't matter where I lie.

(Oohh)

I've been to cities,

I've been to countries

I've left a lover in many towns

I don't care if

I ever get back to

Where I'd already been around.

I'm just a passenger

On this ol' freight train

I ride the boxcar

Through the night

It doesn't matter

Where I might get off

It doesn't matter where I lie.
