about

This song features a custom wooden spoonset hand made by Canadian spoon legend Cyrille Estève

lyrics

I've had a fun life
getting to ride the rails
watching this great country pass me by

sometimes I can't help but think
life has passed me by
every day is a new train
but just like it's the same train

still I wake up each day
with a smile on my face
I wouldn't have it any other way

I can say “I'm my own man
ain't no claims on me.”
If I die in a box car
I'll die free

I can say “I'm my own man
ain't no claims on me.”
If I die in a box car
I'll die free
