Headin' for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickity clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
And pal around with democratic fellows named Mac
So, take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

You reach your destination, but alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take your morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Gonna settle down by the railroad track
Live the life of Riley in a beaten-down shack
So when I hear a whistle I can peak through the crack
And watch the train a rollin' when they're ballin' the jack
I just love the rhythm of the clickity clack
So, take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Woo woo, woo woo, ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo, ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Take me right back to the track, Jack
