Texas Eagle Lyrics

[00:38.29] My Granddaddy was a railroad man
[00:41.57] When I was young he took me by the hand
[00:45.69] Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn
[00:49.44] Said, Boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone
[00:53.30] She was blue and silver, she was right on time
[00:57.51] We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line
[01:18.99] We had some sandwiches that Grandma packed
[01:22.41] We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back
[01:26.52] Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
[01:30.40] That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome whistle wail
[01:34.53] When I got old enough to take the train alone
[01:38.25] I ride that Texas Eagle down to San Antone
[01:59.80] And nowadays they don't make no trains
[02:02.82] Just the piggyback freighters and them Amtrak things
[02:07.02] They shut the Eagle down a while ago
[02:10.85] Sold it to the railroad down in Mexico
[02:14.92] And every now and then that whistle's on my mind
[02:18.76] I ride that Texas Eagle 'cross the borderline
[02:23.20]
