Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Headed for the station with a pack on my back
Tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
Pal around with Democratic fellows, named Mack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
[Verse 2]
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
[Verse 3]
Well, I reach my destination, but alas and alack
I need some compensation to get back in the black
I take the mornin' paper from the top of the stack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only thing that's open takes a man with a knack
So put it right back in the stack, Jack
[Verse 4]
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
And live the life of Riley in a beaten down shack
So when I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack
And hear the train a-rollin' while she's ballin' the jack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
[Verse 6]
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
[Verse 7]
Take me right back to the track, Jack
