Come through ol' Nashville come through a flyin'
Studded bout my little darlin' couldn't keep from cryin'
Honey babe I'm bound to ride don't you wanna go
Goin' to Atlanta just to look around if things don't soothe me goin' on another town
Honey babe I'm bound to ride don't you wanna go

Workin' on the railroad savin' all I can loojkin' for that woman ain't got no man
Honey babe I'm bound to ride don't you wanna go
Standin' on the corner ten thousand miles from home
Studded bout them good times done past and gone
Honey babe I'm bound to ride don't you wanna go

If I was a railroad man burnin' all of the time
So I can hear a lonehorn when she goes rollin' by
Honey babe I'm bound to ride don't you wanna go
