Down the Line
The Lonesome River Band
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Born out in the country, raised out on a farm Got my education out behind a barn Left one Sunday morning in a driving rain Hitchhiked to the freight yard and caught the railroad train Oh, engineer, let your whistle whine Oh, get me out of here, a little further down the line Well I’ve been to California and I’ve been to New Orleans Been to New York City and everywhere between I’ve eat beans and taters, your finest caviar Drank brandy from a snifter and moonshine from a jar Oh, engineer, let your whistle whine Oh, get me out of here, a little further down the line Landed in a prison with a number for my name Fed me bread and water, tied to a ball and chain I swore the day they slammed the door and the jailer locked me in If they ever let me out of here, I’ll never go back again Been dreaming of the day when I return back to my home That’s where I want to settle down, never more to roam Sit me on a tractor and point me to the field And I will plow a furrow with my hands upon the wheel
