I'M WILLIAM CALLAHAN
USED TO BE A RAMBLIN' MAN
LEFT HOME AT SEVENTEEN
HOPPED A FREIGHT TO BIRMINGHAM STARTED POOR AS KENTUCKY COAL LINED MY POCKETS WITH DENVER GOLD I'VE BEEN COLD AS ALASKA SNOW SEARCHING FOR THE SUN

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
I HAD A RESTLESS SOUL
TRAINS COME AND WHISTLES BLOW I LET EM ROLL

THIS IS MY WIFE ANGELINE
SHE USED TO BE A CAJUN QUEEN
TOOK HER FROM THE MAYORS SON BOURBON STREET, NEW ORLEANS
SHE HAD A WILL NO MAN COULD TAME
SHE TOOK HER CHANCES WHEN THEY CAME LEFT WITH ME ON A MIDNIGHT TRAIN SEARCHING FOR THE SUN

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
SHE HAD A RESTLESS SOUL
TRAINS COME AND WHISTLES BLOW SHE LETEM ROLL

TRAINS ROLL BLOWING STEAM
THROUGH AN OLD MAN AND OLD WOMAN'S DREAMS WE LOOK IN EACH OTHERS EYES
THERE AIN'T A LOT THAT WE AIN'T SEEN
WE'D BE OUT THERE RUNNING TONIGHT
BUT WE'VE RUN THE RACE AND FOUGHT THE FIGHT WE THINK WE DID ALRIGHT

IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO
WE HAD A RESTLESS SOUL
TRAINS COME AND WHISTLES BLOW WE LET EM ROLL
