C                                       C7 
Well I'm longin' to ride on a freight train 
       F                               C 
pull a slouch hat down low on my ears 
                                           C7 
I'm yearnin' to leave this old town on the flight 
          D7                     G7 
and lose all my trouble and cares 
      C                         C7 
In this day of airplanes and highways 
     F                              C 
Hey the slow way is sometimes the best 
       F                    C   A7 
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train 
        D7          G7      C 
and be a good old American guest 
  C                                                 C7 
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for 
  F                          C 
and spend a few days headed west 
    F                       C   A7 
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train 
       D7          G7         C 
and be a good old American guest

C                            C7 
Well the pressures of life they got to me 
      F                         C 
and they got down deep inside my soul 
                                            C7 
I'm tired of the rat race wanna go back to the slow pace 
         D7                               G7 
and hear a fast freight train rattle and roll 
      C                      C7 
I wanna live out my days like a hobo 
   F                             C 
and take myself that long needed rest 
      F                        C   A7 
Hey  I'm lookin' to ride on a freight train 
       D7                G7     C 
and be a good old American guest 

C                                             C7 
I wanna live on the land that I've loved and I've labored for 
     F                          C 
and spend a few days headed west 
   F                     C   A7 
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train 
     D7           G7          C 
and be a good old American guest 
      F                    C   A7 
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train 
         D7       G7       C 
and be a good old American guest
