Hey Conductor Lyrics & Tabs by Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
Hey Conductor
guitar chords lyrics
sittin' on the dock at union station
waitin' on the pride of the indian nation
fastest thing on metal wings or wheels
people come from all directions
just to see their own reflections
in a thousand tons of polished steel
they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas
with a hoot and a holler all the way down to the san antone?"
they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas?
i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home"
Here we go now...
whistle whine when the brakeman pull it
see her flyin' like a silver bullet
past the houses through the sleepy hills
blackjack oak and red dust risin'
see her flyin' like a silver bullet
past the houses through the sleepy hills
blackjack oak and red dust risin'
scarlet sun on the blue horizon
hear the lonesome call of the whippoorwill
he says "hey conductor, does this train go to texas
with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?"
they says "hey conductor, does this train go to texas?
i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home"
kids come out their eyes a-poppin'
young men runnin', old men hoppin'
when they hear the might engine roar
lords a-leapin', bands a-playin'
ladies dancin', hound dogs bayin'
passengers and hopefuls by the score
they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas
with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?"
they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas?
i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home"
now baby i would beg or borrow
hock my own best boots tomorrow
just to get up on that train and go
kings and beggars, saints and villains
you and me and all god's chillin'
ponca city to the gulf of mexico
we say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas
with a hoot and a holler all the way down to the san antone?"
we say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas?
i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home
i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home"
