Asleep At The Wheel – Choo Choo Chboogie lyrics

(asleep at the wheel's version)

(instrumental of verse used as intro)

headed for the station with my pack on my back
tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
hear the Lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
And pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

(instrumental)

Well I reach my destination but alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
read the situation from the front to the back
The only job thats open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the stack, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

(instrumental)

Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie

Well... I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
and live the life of riley in a beaten down shack
when I hear a whistle I can peak through the crack
and hear the train rollin when shes balling the jack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo chboogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo chboogle
Choo choo choo choo chboogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

(short instrumental finish)

Take me right back to the track, Jack

(one line of closing music for song)
