Chorus:
Freight train freight train goin' so fast
Freight train freight train goin' so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone.
Freight train, freight train, comin' round the bend
Freight train, freight train, gone again
One of these days turn that train around
Go back to my hometown.
(Chorus)
One more place I'd like to be
One more place I'd love to see
To watch those old Blue Ridge Mountains climb
As I ride ol' Number Nine.
(Chorus)
When I die please bury me deep
Down at the end of Bleecker Street
So I can hear ol' Number Nine
As she goes rollin' by.
(Chorus)(Words Willcox / Music Bogen)
Now the whole of the human race
Needs a dreamscape
In your scrapyards of human emotion
Put your minds in locomotion
City people shout
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Now the whole of the human race
Come to the dreamscape
The horns of elfin land are calling you
Today's the day we open our gates
City people shout
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Now the whole of the human race
Needs a dreamscape
In your scrapyards of human emotion
Put your minds in locomotion
Come away
Come away
Come away...
Now the whole of the human race
Needs a dreamscape
In your scrapyards of human emotion
Put your minds in locomotion
Now the whole of the human race
Come to the dreamscape
The horns of elfin land are calling you
Today's the day we open our gates
Now the whole of the human race
Needs a dreamscape
In your scrapyards of human emotion
Put your minds in locomotion
It's the great escape
It's the great escape
It's the great escape
