Railroad Man - Bill Withers[00:00:01]
We lived very close to a railroad track[00:00:19]
When I was a little boy back in West Virginia[00:00:29]
We lived very close to a railroad track[00:00:33]
And I remember I used to dream about them trains[00:00:38]
And where they might go[00:00:41]
And the people that worked on the trains[00:00:43]
And the train made music it made you feel good[00:00:47]
I can remember sometimes[00:00:52]
I could just stand off all by myself[00:00:53]
And just get funky listenin' to the train[00:00:56]
And I used to pick up a handful of gravels[00:01:01]
And throw 'em down on the ground for ties[00:01:05]
Yeah and I'd make up songs I'd sing[00:01:14]
He was a railroad man[00:01:22]
He was a railroad man[00:01:26]
He was a railroad man[00:01:30]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:01:33]
He rode across the plains[00:01:38]
He rode on a fruit freight train[00:01:42]
The hauled bananas to Savannah[00:01:47]
And wore bandannas made in old Japan[00:01:49]
He was a railroad man[00:01:54]
He was a railroad man[00:01:57]
And a railroad man[00:02:02]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:02:05]
He used to change his name[00:02:10]
To every place he came[00:02:13]
You know his name was Tex when he's in Texas[00:02:18]
And Bangor when he went to Maine[00:02:21]
And a railroad man[00:02:25]
No he was a railroad man[00:02:29]
And a railroad man[00:02:33]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:02:36]
Used to change his name[00:02:41]
To every place he came[00:02:45]
You know his name was Tex when he's in Texas[00:02:49]
And Bangor when he went to Maine[00:02:52]
He rode across the plains[00:02:57]
He rode on a fruit freight train[00:03:01]
The hauled bananas to Savannah[00:03:06]
Wore bandannas made in old Japan[00:03:08]
And he was a railroad man[00:03:12]
He was a railroad man[00:03:17]
Oh a railroad man[00:03:21]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:03:23]
Used to change his name[00:03:28]
To each and every place he came[00:03:30]
His name was Tex when he's in Texas[00:03:36]
And Bangor when he went to Maine[00:03:39]
You know he was a good time railroad man[00:03:43]
Good time railroad man[00:03:48]
Oh a railroad man[00:03:52]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:03:55]
It's alright[00:05:02]
Say you know it's alright[00:05:06]
If you've ever been downtown[00:05:11]
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout[00:05:13]
You know he was a good time railroad road[00:05:17]
Good time railroad man[00:05:21]
Oh a railroad man[00:05:26]
'Til he stepped in front of the railroad train[00:05:28]
He used to change his name[00:05:33]
To each and every place he came[00:05:36]
You know his name was Tex when he's in Texas[00:05:41]
And Bangor when he went to Maine[00:05:44]
He rode across the plains[00:05:49]
He rode he rode on a fruit freight train[00:05:52]
The hauled bananas to Savannah[00:05:58]
And wore bandannas made in old Japan[00:05:59]
Oh railroad man[00:06:04]
Oh railroad man[00:06:09]
Oh railroad man[00:06:12]
Stepped in front of the railroad train[00:06:16]
