Watchin The World Go By

I been catching them freight trains

I been riding them railroads

I been sleeping in a boxcar

Watching, watching the world go by

Watching the world go by

I been walking them highways

I been hitting them back roads

I been sleeping in a haystack

Watching, watching the world go by

Watching the world go by

I been shingling a rooftop

I been tending to a new crop

I been eating from a bean pod

I been working on a new road

I been working on the railroad

But I can't ride on neither

I'm watching the world go by

The world go by

I been picking in a pea patch

I been working on a fruit ranch

I been living in a pasture

Watching, watching the world go by

Watching the world go by

I been picking your lettuce

I been picking your maters

I been living on taters

Watching, watching the world go by

Watching the world go by

I been shingling a rooftop

I been tending to a new crop

I been eating from a bean pod

I been working on a new road

I been working on the railroad

But I can't ride on neither

I'm watching the world go by

The world go by

Freight train, railroad, boxcar

Highway, back door, haystack

Pea patch, fruit ranch, pasture

New road, railroad, my road

I'm catching, riding, sleeping, walking

Hitting, picking, working, living

I'm watching the world go by

The world go by
