[E] _ _ _ _ _ My granddaddy was a railroad man
When I was young he took me by the hand
Drove me to the station at the break of dawn
Said, boy, I gotta show you [Bm] something before it's gone
[A] She was blue as silver, she was right on time
[E] We rode the Texas Eagle on that moped back in life _

Me had some sandwiches my grandma packed
We rode the Palestinian Hedgehog back
Home and time for supper with a tale to tell
That night I dreamed I [Em] heard that long-singing whistle wail
[A] When I got old enough to take the train home
[E] I'd ride the Texas [B] Eagle up to [E] San Antonio _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Nowadays they don't make no trains
Just some piggyback freighters and their Amtrak trains
They shut the Eagle down a while ago
And sold it to the railroad down in Mexico
[A] But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
[E] I'd ride the Texas Eagle across the borderline _ _ _ _
