Track 49
(Wayne Hancock)




Well I used to be a dreamer, but that was such a long time ago
Yeah, I used to be a walkin', man, down them dusty back roads
Hangin' round the track, waitin' by the main line
Listen to the rumble, rock and rhythm in time
I was swingin' with that jumped up beat
Down on track 49

Well I used to be a loner and I thought I had nowhere to go
Yeah, I used to be a boozer, I blew right through a whole lot of dough
Then I heard them horns a blastin' and the next thing I knew
I was jumpin' and a' jivin' just a shakin' my shoes
Yeah, I boogied way all my blues
Down on track 49

Well I used to b a loser and I almost lost my handle on life
Yeah, I spent my nights in darkness, searching for an end to my strife
Yeah, then I heard them horns a blastin' and it's makin' me high
Like the fireworks a flyin' on the fourth of July
Ain't worried about nothin' now
Down on track 49
