Cross Tie Walker Lyrics

	CREEDENCE CLEAWATER REVIVAL
         Cross-Tie Walker
         (J. C. Fogerty)

   I went down to the station
   Just to take a ride
   I went down to the station
   Just to take a ride
   Found myself on a flatcar
   Yesterday behind

   Pullin' out from the platform
   There was no brass band
   I pulled out from the platform
   Nobody raised a hand
   And there were no tears of regret
   From my runaway train

   Got no sand in my poket
   You know I ain't tied down
   Ain't no sand in my pocket
   Never do sit down
   I'm just a cross-tie walker
   Where the fraight trains run

   If you see me acomin'
   Don't you waste my time
   If you see me acomin'
   Don't you waste my time
   'Cause there's more miles between us
   Than the Santa Fe Line
