(Ed King - Ronnie VanZant). I jumped off a boxcar down around Tennessee. I was cold tired and dirty hungry as I could be. But I had my guitar and a hundred railroad songs. So I asked the policeman. Can I stay here long. He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now. We don't want you around. See I'm trying to build a respectable town. And we don't need a hobo like you around. So I left that town Lord with my guitar in my hand. Still cold and tired kinda mad at the man. But this life that I chose to live sometime's strange. See I'm trying to learn about the old music from ridin' the train. I'm a hobo I know but thta's the price I pay. Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way. Catch me another train and this is what I'll say. Mr Choo-choo train take me away. I'm goin' to ride this train Lord until I find out. What Jimmie Rogers and the Hag was all about. See I play this rock n roll and I think that's fine. But I wnta to go back a little further in time. I'm a hobo I know but that's the price I pay. Guess I'll write me another song while I'm on my way. Catch me another train and this is what I'll say. Mr Choo-choo train take me away.
