I'm like a snake, I like to lay low
I'm like a black man, I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know
I'm just a passenger on this old freight train
I ride a boxcar through the night
It doesn't matter where I might get off
It doesn't matter where I light
When the coastline is under water
And the desert line is under dust
And the mountain line is closed forever
In the great spirit I place my trust
I'm just a passenger on this old freight train
I ride a boxcar through the night
It doesn't matter where I might get off
It doesn't matter where I light
I'm like an eagle, I like to fly high I'm like a snake, I like to lay low I'm like a black man, I'm like a white man Maybe a red man, I don't know I'm just a passenger on this old freight train I ride a boxcar through the night It doesn't matter where I might get off It doesn't matter where I light When the coastline is under water And the desert line is under dust And the mountain line is closed forever In the great spirit I place my trust I'm just a passenger on this old freight train I ride a boxcar through the night It doesn't matter where I might get off It doesn't matter where I light Explain Request ×
