about

lyrics

Headin' for the station with a pack on my back,
I'm tired of transportation in the back of hack,
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity clack,
And hear the lonesome whistle,
See the smoke from the stack,
And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
So take me right back to the track, Jack!

Chorus
Choo choo, choo choo, ch’boogie!
Woo woo, ooh ooh, ch'boogie!
Choo choo, choo choo, ch’boogie!
Take me right back to the track, Jack!

You reach your destination, but alas and alack!
You need some compensation to get back in the black, You take your morning paper from the top of the stack, And read the situation from the front to the back,
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack,
So put it right back in the stack, Jack!

Chorus

I’m gonna settle down by the railroad track,
And live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack,
So when I hear a whistle I can peak through the crack,
And watch the train a rollin' when they're ballin' the jack,
I love the rhythm of the clickity clack,
So, take me right back to the track, Jack!

Chorus
