Lyrics:
Well, I was born in a small, dusty town,
Where the folks all wore smiles, and the world spun 'round.
But I had a secret, hidden deep within,
A wild desire, a reckless sin.
I learned how to hit and run with a railroad gun,
Ain't no stopping me, I'm always on the run.
Through the hills and the valleys, under the setting sun,
I'm a ramblin' man with a railroad gun.
I hopped aboard that ol' iron beast,
With a whiskey in my hand, and a heart full of grease.
The tracks ahead, they stretched so wide,
I felt the thrill of freedom, deep inside.
I learned how to hit and run with a railroad gun,
Ain't no stopping me, I'm always on the run.
Through the hills and the valleys, under the setting sun,
I'm a ramblin' man with a railroad gun.
Well, the lawmen, they chased me from town to town,
But I outsmarted 'em all, never lettin' 'em bring me down.
With a clickety-clack and a whistle's cry,
I'd vanish into the night, like a bird in the sky.
I left broken hearts and a trail of dust,
Leavin' memories behind, in a world I couldn't trust.
But the open road, it called my name,
I was a wanderin' soul, forever changed.
I learned how to hit and run with a railroad gun,
Ain't no stopping me, I'm always on the run.
Through the hills and the valleys, under the setting sun,
I'm a ramblin' man with a railroad gun.
Now, I'm just a legend, a tale from the past,
A myth and a mystery, destined to last.
So, if you hear that whistle blow, my friend,
Know that the rambling man is on the mend.
