Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me from you
You can tie me down on the rail-road track, you can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ol' cars won't run me out of town
Well, I'll be damned if you're not my man before the sun goes down

Well, you can chain me down on the edge of town, you can leave me there to die
But the rail-road track will bring me back when the lonesome whistle cries

Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me from you
You can tie me down on the rail-road track, you can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ol' cars won't run me out of town
For I'll be damned if you're not my man before the sun goes down

You can lock me out, you can scream and shout, you can try to change your name
But by the end of the day I'll take you away like a force 10 hurricane 

Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me from you
You can tie me down on the rail-road track, you can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ol' cars won't run me out of town
Well, I'll be damned if you're not my man before the sun goes down
