F                                   C
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
       F                                   C
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
        G7                F7           C
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind.

        F                                         C
Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band.
         F                                      C
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand.
               G7                F7
And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train.
       Train, train, train, train.

(break)

       F                                        C
Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down.
         F                               C
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down.
           G7               F7                        C
I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run.
       Run, run, run, run.

(break)

       F                                   C
If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time.
       F                                   C
If you see me a-comin', don't you waste my time.
               G7                   F7                 C
'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line.
       Run, run, run, run.

(Hum first two lines and fade)

CROSS-TIE WALKER
Contrary to what some experts want us to believe, a cross-tie walker is not a person walking around wearing two ties in the form of a cross. Rather, it is a kind of hobo, ie a wandering, homeless person, particularly one who makes a habit of hopping freight trains. Cross-ties used to be made of wood; they are underneath the rails of a railroad track, supporting and fixing them. Obviously, the classic Creedence Clearwater Revival song does not exactly refer to German railroads. Then again ...

Qowboy Vern-Cross Tie Walker (1991)
This video I produced features my late friend Nick Guerrero (the hunky Mexican dancing vaquero) & was filmed in 3 locations: Gila Bend, AZ - Goodyear, AZ & Arroyo Grande, CA - I'm singing with my band 'The Gila Bend Drovers' featuring Jim McCartney on guitar. This song was originally recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
