Lyrics Boxcar - Neil Young

I'm like an eagle,
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake,
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man,
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know.

I'm just a passenger
On this ol' freight train
I ride a boxcar
Through the night
It doesn't matter
Where I might get off
It doesn't matter where I lie.

(Oohh)

When the coast line is under water
And the desert line is under dust
And the mountain line is closed forever
In the great spirit I place my trust.

I'm just a passenger
On this ol' freight train
I ride a boxcar
Through the night
It doesn't matter
Where I might get off
It doesn't matter where I lie.

(Oohh)

I've been to cities,
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around.

I'm just a passenger
On this ol' freight train
I ride the boxcar
Through the night
It doesn't matter
Where I might get off
It doesn't matter where I lie.
