Barricades and brickwalls

Won't keep me from you

You can tie me down on the railroad track

You can let that freight train loose

Iron bars and big ole cars

Won't run me out of town

I'll be damned if you're not my man

Before the sun goes down



You can chain me down

On the edge of town

You can leave me there to die

But the railroad track

Will bring me back

When the lonesome whistle cries



You can lock me out

You can scream and shout

You can try to change your name

By the end of the day

I'll take you away

Like a force 10 hurricane
