Gonna lay my trouble on a railroad track
I'm gonna ride, I ain't looking back
I tried to stop, but I can't unpack
Gotta get used to the clickety clack
The big old wheels and the smoking stack
Ah, babe, I gotta go
Babe, I gotta go

Loved you, honey, heart and soul
I swear you're the sweetest thing I know
I loved you true, I told you so
I told you too come time to go
I'd be gone with any old wind that blows
Ah, babe, I just can't stay
And it's bound to be that way

There's lots of things I'd like to see
From the mountains to the shining sea
Up in the sky where the wind blows free
To the cities down below
Ah, babe, I just don't know
I got trouble trouble in my soul
I got trouble in my soul

Gonna lay my trouble on a railroad track
I'm gonna ride, I ain't looking back
I tried to stop, but I can't unpack
Go to sleep with the clickety clack
The big old wheels and the smoking stack
Ah, babe, I'm bound to go
I got trouble in my soul
I got trouble trouble in my soul
