I sit on a train I bought a ticket for. Not too many times had I paid my way.
I’ve jumped those rails many times. these old blues are makin me want to stay.
in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play.

I heard it’s not what I think it is, but I know, it’s what I want it to be.

When I get there I want to dash away. Go for the nearest park to play.
My guitar and harmonica is all I need to make my way.
in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play.

If I can get a crowd to come and stay, put down my hat so I can pay my way.
make someone smile and sing with me, make them happy as I play.
in Tuscaloosa Alabama town;;;;;; that’s where I want to play.
