| Have you ever seen a hobo, a forgotten freight yard shadow?
|
| Would you ever take your chances on a train?
|
| 'Cause when it comes to ridin', are you wastin' time decidin'
|
| Are you jumpin' on, or jumpin' off again?
|
| I was hot from North Dakota, on my way to Minnesota
|
| And I had to take my chances on a train
|
| Driver started rollin', that ol' whistles started blowin'
|
| I was there, and then I was good as gone again
|
| Don’t you ever take your chances on a train
|
| I won’t be around forever, but I’m still a firm believer
|
| That I gotta go rollin' down the track
|
| A million miles behind me, a million more remind me
|
| My better days, when more I’d understand
|
| If I gotta go goin' down the track
|
| I got caught between two places, and a couple tired old faces
|
| They had to take their chances on a train
|
| We went north through Minnesota, on a St. Paul Manitoba
|
| We were headed off and hell bent once again
|
| We had to take our chances on a train
