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 its 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
