Well I wanna jump an old freight train
Ride it on to Nashville
Well I wanna jump an old freight train
Ride it on to Nashville
Well I wanna learn to play my guitar
The way the Honky Tonkers do

I wanna buy me an old car
Drive it down the road
I wanna buy me an old car
Drive it down the road
I will drive it till it's engine
Is just about to explode

Well I wanna marry me a business man
Rake it all in
Well I wanna marry me a business man
Rake it all in
And I will buy me another guitar
One that's built to ring

Well I wanna sing until I'm buried
Till I'm buried and dead
Well I wanna sing until I'm buried
Till I'm buried and dead
Cause I'll be singing in that cold ground
Covered up to my head

Yeah, well me and my guitar
We're gonna go a long way
Well me and my guitar
We're gonna go a long way
Right around the world
Down to Nashville Tennessee
