Railroad Man

I hope you enjoy my homage to Woody Guthrie.

Railroad Man

I've been rolling like a railroad man
Driving these spikes across the whole wide land
I've been rolling like a railroad man
Driving these spikes across this whole wide land
I've been riding the rails
From coast to coast
Coming on like some Casey Jones
And I've been rolling like a railroad man
Driving these spikes across the whole wide land

I've been living like a rich white man
I drive my spike into everyone
And I've been
I've been living like a rich white man
I drive my spike into everyone
I can bleed the poor
It is my right
We call it freedom
In the deep dark night
And I've been
I've been living like a rich white man
I drive my spike into everyone

I've been moving like an Everyman
I drive my spike into every woman
I've been moving like an Everyman
I drive my spike into every woman
Now if there's some concern
How I was born
You got to blame it
On the chromosome
Oh yeah
I've been moving like an Everyman
Driving this spike into every woman

And I've been riding these rails
From coast to coast
Coming on like some Casey Jones
And I've been
I've been rolling like a railroad man
Driving these spikes across the whole wide land
And I've been living like a rich white man
Driving this spike into everyone
And I've been moving like an Everyman
Driving this spike into every woman
I've been rolling like a railroad man
Driving spikes across this whole wide land
Driving spikes across this whole wide land
