[Chorus]

I'm gonna give 'em that two, four, foot on the floor

Like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there begging for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doin' my thing, singing my song

Right on track I'm chugging along

I'm here and gone like yesterday

Rolling like an old freight train


[Verse 1]

On a wing and a prayer and a glorified greyhound bus

Flying down the road running 9-0 and kicking up dust

Drinkin' truck stop coffee countin' birds on those telephone wires

Burnin' the midnight oil and the tread off these old goodyear tires


[Chorus]

I'm gonna give 'em that two, four, foot on the floor

Like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there begging for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doin' my thing, singing my song

Right on track I'm chugging along

I'm here and gone like yesterday

Rolling like an old freight train


[Verse 2]

And sometimes my mind is a million miles away

I know you're sound asleep at home while I'm on this stage

And I'm missing you wishing I was kissing you everyday

But girl I gotta keep rollin', rollin' like an old freight train

And its a mighty lonesome sound when there's not soul around

To help you ease your pain ,but you gotta keep rollin'

Rollin' like an old freight train


[Chorus]

I'm gonna give 'em that two, four, foot on the floor

Like an outlaws boys on the day before

Got the pretty girls out there begging for more

Gotta give 'em all what they came here for

Doin' my thing, singing my song

Right on track I'm chugging along

I'm here and gone like yesterday

Rolling like an old freight train


[Verse 3]

Comin' on down the line

Feel that diesel engine whine

Smell the smoke stack

Hear the gears grind

Full steam ahead

Halfway out of my mind

I'm too far gone to be turning back

Going clickity clack down the railroad tracks

I'm here and gone like yesterday

Rolling like an old freight train

Just like an old freight train

Tell me do you wanna ride this train
