I've been waitin' at a train depot

Tryin' to find a reason why I shouldn't go

My bags are done packed so I can't back down

Don't try to stop 'cause I'm railway bound

Get off your knees

There ain't nothin' you can do

I'm gonna ride these tracks

'Til it shakes these blues away

Shakin' these blues away

I don't care if it takes all night

I'm gonna ride that, I'm gonna ride that line

River-bridge movin' at the speed of sound

Conductor man say, "We're gonna stop at the next town"

I get off the train, I gotta look new

Next time you see me I'll be shakin' these blues away

Shakin' these blues away

I don't care if it takes all night

I'm gonna ride that, I'm gonna ride that line

Tupelo shadow cast in my view

Delta show, whore, help me sing my blues

Number 89's on time

Ready to take me to the Texas line

I'm shakin' these blues away

I don't care if it takes all night

I'm gonna ride that, I'm gonna ride that line

I'm gonna ride that [Incomprehensible]
