Hey, EOpen Boxcar, Eshow me the way,
EI'm tired of Indiana, EI've got to leave today,
Oh AOpen Boxcar, don't be Elate,
I'm B7going down to the freight yard, A gonna jump the 4:08E
If I can't ride the rails, I might just have to fly,
My good girl ain't in Richmond, She might be in Dubai,
Open Boxcar, please don't let me down,
I can't stand it anymore, I've got to blow this town.
instrumental
I hear your lonesome whistle, moaning on the wind,
I've got to quit this state, before they find out how I've sinned,
Oh Open Boxcar, please take me away,
I'm so tired of Indiana, I've got to leave today.
