Watchin’ the World Go By

[Verse 1]
I been catchin' them freight trains
I been ridin' them railroads
I been sleepin' in a boxcar
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Verse 2]
I been walkin' them highways
I been hittin' them back roads
I been sleepin' in a haystack
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Chorus]
I been shinglin' a rooftop, I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin' from a bean pod
I been workin' on a new road, I been workin' on the railroad
But I can't ride on neither, I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Verse 3]
I been pickin' in a pea patch
I been workin' on a fruit ranch
I been livin' in a pasture
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Verse 4]
I been pickin' your lettuce
I been pickin' your 'maters
I been livin' on taters
Watchin', watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Chorus]
I been shinglin' a rooftop, I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin' from a bean pod
I been workin' on a new road, I been workin' on the railroad
But I can't ride on neither, I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by

[Outro]
Freight train, railroad, boxcar
Highway, back door, haystack
Pеa patch, fruit ranch, pasture
New road, railroad, my road
I'm catchin', ridin', sleepin', walkin'
Hittin', pickin', workin', livin'
I'm watchin' the world go by
Watchin' thе world go by
Watchin' the world go by
