lyrics

Big train on the mainline
Rollin loud and clear
takes your time and it takes your space
And it rolls right out of here

(ch) that southbound freight
Rollin since time began
that train to summerland

People on the platform
Payin all they can afford
big guys steppin on women and children
Tryin to get on board (ch)

There's a hobo tryin to jump her
Waitin just around the bend
he got a good payin job and a beautiful woman
waitin on the other end (ch)

They're smokin in the club car
Sippin from a paper sack
starin out the window watchin the world go
Slippin off down the track (ch)
