Randy Travis - Send My Body Home on a Freight Train lyrics

Well, the judge he found me guilty of wrong doing

And he sentenced me to hang in Mid-July

He looked down at me and said you're life's a ruin

If I were you I'd break right down and cry

Nobody seems to care that I ain't guilty

Lord, I never did the things they said I've done

But I guess they're gonna have to hang somebody

And it's looking like I'm gonna be the one

So send my body home on a freight train

Don't worry, no, that I don't go first class

Send my body home on a freight train

So everyone can see me when I pass

Don't worry, no, about no fancy funeral

It don't matter how they lay me down

You see they bury me out by mama's apple tree

And send my body back to my home town

Well, my mama was a damn hard working woman

She tried to raise us kids without a pa

Last thing that she said she was on her dying bed

Was "Son, don't get in trouble with the law"

Whenever my time comes to meet my Maker

I'm gonna try to do my very best

I'm gonna try to stand and take it like a man

When they ask if I have one request

I'll guess they sent my body home on a freight train

Don't worry, no, that I don't go first class

Send my body home on a freight train

So everyone can see me when I pass

Don't worry, no, about no fancy funeral

'Cause it don't matter how they lay me down

You see they bury me out by mama's apple tree

And send my body back to my home town

Yeah, you see they bury me out by mama's apple tree

And send my body back to my home town
