Lyrics for Texas Eagle by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Texas Eagle | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 62 | | | | Lyrics: | My Grandaddy was a railroad man
When I was young he took me by the hand
Dragged me to the
station at the break of dawn
Said ";boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone";
She
was blue and silver - she was right on time
We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line
We had some sandwiches that Granma packed
We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back
Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome
whistle wail
When I got old enough to take the train alone
I rode that Texas Eagle
down to San Antone
Nowadays they don't make no trains
Just the piggyback freighters
and them Amtrak things
They shut the Eagle down awhile ago
Sold it to the railroad down in
Mexico
But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
I ride that Texas Eagle cross the
