Lyrics
©2000, Dave Carter/Dave Carter Music (BMI) sittin' on the dock at union station waitin' on the pride of the indian nation fastest thing on metal wings and wheels people come from all directions just to see their own reflections in a thousand tons of polished steel they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?" they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas? i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home" whistle whine when the brakeman pull it see her flyin' like a silver bullet past the houses through the sleepy hills blackjack oak and red dust risin' scarlet sun on the blue horizon hear the lonesome call of the whipoorwhill he says "hey conductor, does this train go to texas with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?" they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas? i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home" kids come out their eyes a-poppin' young men runnin', old men hoppin' when they hear the might engine roar lords a-leapin', bands a-playin' ladies dancin', hound dogs bayin' passengers and hopefuls by the score they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?" they say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas? i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home" now baby i would beg or borrow hock my own best boots tomorrow just to get up on that train and go kings and beggars, saints and villains you and me and all god's chillin' ponca city to the gulf of mexico we say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas with a hoot and a holler all the way down to san antone?" we say "hey conductor, does this train go to texas? i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home i got a dime and a dollar and a one-way ticket home"
