I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
It doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.

I've been to cities,
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around.

I'm like an eagle,
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake,
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man,
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know.

I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
It doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.

If you didn't understand the first image in the video, treat yourself to a "mental work out". If after a bit you don't get it, please see below for the interpretation.

I am sure most of you got the visual pun at the beginning of the video. Then again the frame may have gone by too fast. "just" is hanging "out" Meaning: "Just hanging out"

  • Hi, Whats the name of the fiddler in rags painting at about 35 seconds in?

    or the name of the painter. Awesome track this!!

  • @TheoKryno Hi, it is a post card. I don't know the name or the painter. I agree it's a great track.

  • I love this song. Haunting and reminds for some reason of " The Good, Bad, and the Ugly"...lol... have no idea why.... but love the song. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

  • @barbergreg A great spaghetti western! Loved it. Thanks for your appreciation. I appreciate it!

  • Trippy... I love this version..

  • @123mollieb It is an unusual version to be sure. Not many Neil songs have this sound.

    ...glad you dug it!
