(Al Wood)

Listen to the rhythm of the wheels go round
Hypnotic sound of the driver on this ol' train
I'd like to be in Tennessee, but they don't weant me
I'm an outcast: this train's my home.

I just caught the 904
Don't know where she's headin' for or been
If I don't get caught by a railroad guard
I'll sleep tonight in a lumber yard
In the next ol' town
She pulls in.

Listen to the rhythm of the wheels go round
Hypnotic sound of the driver on this ol' train
I'd like to be in Tennessee, but they don't weant me
I'm an outcast: this train's my home.

--- Instrumental ---

It's always from town to town
I really wanna settle down somewhere
New Orleans to Birmingham
Around here in this Mid-West town
Where I am, right now.

Listen to the rhythm of the wheels go round
Hypnotic sound of the driver on this ol' train
I'd like to be in Tennessee, but they don't weant me
I'm an outcast: this train's my home.

--- Instrumental ---

It's always from town to town
I really wanna settle down somewhere
New Orleans to Birmingham
Around here in this Mid-West town
Where I am, right now.

Listen to the rhythm of the wheels go round
Hypnotic sound of the driver on this ol' train
I'd like to be in Tennessee, but they don't want me
I'm an outcast: this train's my home.

Wheels go round, hypnotic sound
In Tennessee, they don't want me
This train's my home...
