Cross-Tie Walker Lyrics – Creedence Clearwater Revival

Cross-Tie Walker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went down to the station just to take a ride
I went down to the station just to take a ride
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind

[Verse 2]
Pulling out from the platform, there was no brass band
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand
And there were no tears of regret from the runaway train
Train, train, train, train

[Verse 3]
Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain’t tied down
Ain’t no sand in my pocket, never do sit down
I’m just a cross-tie walker where the freight trains run
Run, run, run, run

[Verse 4]
If you see me a-coming, don’t you waste my time
If you see me a-coming, don’t you waste my time
‘Cause there’s more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line
Run, run, run, run

[Outro]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
