Texas Eagle |
| My Grandaddy was a railroad man |
| When I was young he took me by the hand |
| Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn |
| Said «;boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it’s gone»; |
| She was blue and silver — she was right on time |
| We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line |
| We had some sandwiches that Granma packed |
| We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back |
| Home in time for supper with a tale to tell |
| That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome whistle wail |
| When I got old enough to take the train alone |
| I rode that Texas Eagle down to San Antone |
| Nowadays they don’t make no trains |
| Just the piggyback freighters and them Amtrak things |
