Lyrics Boxcars - Joe Ely
Well,
I
gave
all
my
money
to
the
banker
this
month
Now,
I
got
no
more
money
to
spend
She
smiled
when
she
saw
me
comin'
through
that
door
When
I
left
she
said,
"Come
back
again"
I
watched
them
lonesome
boxcar
wheels
Turnin'
down
the
tracks
out
of
town
And
it's
on
that
lonesome
railroad
track
I'm
gonna
lay
my
burden
down
I
was
raised
on
a
farm
the
first
years
of
my
life
Life
was
pretty
good
they
say
I'll
probably
live
to
be
some
ripe
ol'
age
If
death'll
just
stay
out
of
my
way
This
world
can
take
my
money
and
time
But
it
sure
can't
take
my
soul
And
I'm
goin'
down
to
the
railroad
tracks
Watch
them
lonesome
boxcars
roll
There's
some
big
ol'
Buicks
by
the
Baptist
church
Cadillacs
at
the
Church
of
Christ
I
parked
my
camel
by
an
ol'
haystack
I'll
be
lookin'
for
that
needle
all
night
There
ain't
gonna
be
no
radial
tires
Turnin'
down
the
streets
of
gold
I'm
goin'
down
to
the
railroad
tracks
And
watch
them
lonesome
boxcars
roll
Now,
if
you
ever
heard
the
whistle
on
a
fast
freight
train
Beatin'
out
a
beautiful
tune
If
you
ever
seen
the
cold
blue
railroad
tracks
Shinin'
by
the
light
of
the
moon
If
you
ever
felt
the
locomotive
shake
the
ground
I
know
you
don't
have
to
be
told
Why
I'm
goin'
down
to
the
railroad
tracks
And
watch
them
lonesome
boxcars
roll
Yeah,
I'm
goin'
down
to
the
railroad
tracks
And
watch
them
lonesome
boxcars
roll
