Old Freight Train

[Verse 1]
Sometimes my mind will wander to a time and place when I was just a boy
And I'd camp along the railroad track just to watch the trains come rollin' by
And I'd dream of all the places I would go when I was old enough to ride
Along that endless road of steel rail on that old freight train that still runs through my mind

[Verse 2]
I'd hear the boxcars rattle and the big steel wheels a poundin' on the ground
That old smoke stack a blazin' as she'd pass on by our little shanty town
And just before I'd go to sleep in the distance I could hear the whistle whine
And I'd dream that I was riddin' on that old freight train that still runs through my mind

[Chorus]
That old freight train still runs through my mind
Fading like a dream from childhood times
Memories of anothеr place and time
And that old freight train still runs through my mind

[Verse 3]
Thе railroad tracks are gone now and that old freight train is just a memory
To serve as a reminder of the places that I'll never get to see
But now and then I'm back there and I can hear her rollin' down the line
And once again I'm riddin' on that old freight train that still runs through my mind

[Chorus]
That old freight train still runs through my mind
Fading like a dream from childhood times
Memories of another place and time
And that old freight train still runs through my mind

[Outro]
Yes that old freight train still runs through my mind
