I´m just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn´t matter
where I might get off
I doesn´t matter where I lie.

I´ve been to cities,
I´ve been to countries
I´ve left a lover in many towns
I don´t care if
I ever get back to
Where I´d already been around.

I´m like an eagle,
I like to fly high
I´m like a snake,
I like to lay low
I´m like a black man,
I´m like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don´t know.

I´m just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn´t matter
where I might get off
I doesn´t matter where I lie.
