Steve Earle
Texas Eagle

My Grandaddy was a railroad man
When I was young he took me by the hand
Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn
Said "boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone"
She was blue and silver - she was right on time
We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line
We had some sandwiches that Granma packed
We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back
Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome whistle wail

When I got old enough to take the train alone
I rode that Texas Eagle down to San Antone

Nowadays they don't make no trains
Just the piggyback freighters and them Amtrak things
They shut the Eagle down awhile ago
Sold it to the railroad down in Mexico
But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
I ride that Texas Eagle 'cross the borderline


Mirror lyrics:

I ride that Texas Eagle 'cross the borderline
But every now and then that whistle's on my mind
Sold it to the railroad down in Mexico
They shut the Eagle down awhile ago
Just the piggyback freighters and them Amtrak things
Nowadays they don't make no trains

I rode that Texas Eagle down to San Antone
When I got old enough to take the train alone

That night I dreamed I heard that lonesome whistle wail
Home in time for supper with a tale to tell
We rode to Palestine and hitchhiked back
We had some sandwiches that Granma packed
We rode that Texas Eagle on the Mopac line
She was blue and silver - she was right on time
Said "boy I got to show you somethin' 'fore it's gone"
Dragged me to the station at the break of dawn
When I was young he took me by the hand
My Grandaddy was a railroad man
