Watchin the World Go By Songtext
von Dropkick Murphys

TI 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

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

I been shinglin′ a rooftop
I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin' from a bean pot

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


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

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

I been shinglin' a rooftop
I been tendin' to a new crop
I been eatin′ from a bean pot
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


Freight train, railroad, boxcar
Highway, back door, haystack
Pea 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' the world go by
Watchin' the world go by
