"Half a Century 'Old"

Riding the rails

"Half a Century 'Old.......

Half a Century
sounds 'Old don't it
not too much worse fer wear & tear
I be a might sore here and there

It were a long, long road
fer me to get this 'Old
I managed to stay alive
It can be tough to survive

I missed gettin killed
on occasion or two
when that time comes
well It's either him or you

you hop the next train
leavin out the yard
get up out this rain
Man it's pourin' mighty hard

this 'Ol Boxcar
your RV your TV
a view of America
few ever see

that 'Ol clickitty clack
of the wheels on the track
