Well I wanna jump an old freight train
Ride it on to Nashville.
Well I wanna jump an old freight train
Ride it on to Nashville.
Well I wanna learn to play my guitar
The way the Honky Tonkers do.
I wanna buy me an old car
Drive it down the road.
I wanna buy me an old car
Drive it down the road.
I will drive it till it's engine
Is just about to explode.
Well I wanna marry me a business man
Rake it all in.
Well I wanna marry me a business man
Rake it all in.
And I will buy me another guitar
One that's built to ring.
Well I wanna sing until I'm buried
Till I'm buried and dead.
Well I wanna sing until I'm buried
Till I'm buried and dead.
Cause I'll be singing in that cold ground
Covered up to my head.
Yeah, well me and my guitar
We're gonna go a long way
Well me and my guitar
We're gonna go a long way
Right around the world
Down to Nashville Tennessee
