I lie awake and I
listen to the noise that it made
Wish the freight train
didn't run so near
Rattlin' the clatter of the old fast train
Keeps making music in my ear
Go bump again
Go bump again
Clickety -clack, clickety -clack
The wheels are spin
ning on the railroad track
If you go, if you go
You can't come back now
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin'
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin'
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, you can't come back
If you go, if you go
I wouldn't give a nickel for
the bum I used to be
Worked as hard as any man in town
You got a pretty woman who
loves the world
You mean I'd be a fool to put her down
and go home again
Go home again
Clickety -clack, clickety -clack
The wheels are spinning on the railroad track
Hear the lonesome whistle blowin'
Hear the lonesome whistle blow
in'
Clickety -clack, clickety -clack
If you're goin' you can't
come back
Goodbye, McGinn
I lie awake and I listen to
the noise that it makes
In my heart I know I'm on that train
Roar and whistle, they rattle at my feet
Thank the Lord
I'm just a bum again
Go bum again
Go bum again
Clickety -clack, clickety -clack,
if you go, you can't come back
If you go, if you go,
you can't come back you
