Lyrics East Bound Freight Train - Reno & Smiley

I never was so lonesome for my hometown
Seems I never was so far away
Now I can hear the freight train a-blowing
I'll be gone before the break of day

I'll have to quit my daily rambling
So tonight I'm gonna start my journey back
Sitting on the top of an old box car
Sailing down that silvery stream of track

Eastbound freight train, eastbound freight train
Take me home again
Eastbound freight train, eastbound freight train
Let me stay 'til the end

Now I'll never stray far from my hometown
Never leave again to roam
I know I was born to wander
But I'm gonna stick around my home

Now I can see the smoke a-rolling
Out on that old smoke stack
I'm sitting on the top of an old box car
Sailing down that silvery stream of track

Eastbound freight train, eastbound freight train
Take me home again
Eastbound freight train, eastbound freight train
Let me stay 'til the end
