My GraE7ndaddy was a railroad man
When I was young he took me B7by the hEand
E7Drugged me to the station at the break of dawn
Said "boy I got to show you somethin' 'B7fore it's Egone"
She was A7blue and silver - she was right on time
We Erode that Texas Eagle on the B7Mopac lEine
E7We had some sandwiches that Granma packed
We rode to Palestine and B7hitchhiked Eback
E7Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome B7whistle Ewail
A7When I got old enough to ridee the train alone
E7I'd ride that Texas Eagle up from B7San EAntone
E7Nowadays they don't make no trains
Just the piggyback freighters and them B7Amtrak Ethings
E7They shut the Eagle down awhile ago
Sold it to the railroad down in B7MexiEco
A7But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
E7I ride that Texas Eagle ?cross the B7borderEline
