Ride That Hobo Train

{loping cymbals, tape-saturated upright bass with slight string click,

muted

kick} {gritty tube-amped harmonica riff,

smoky barroom Hammond organ pad} {guitar stab}

Rolling down the rusted track

{harmonica fill} Looking forward,

never looking back

{clipped guitar stab} This old hobo train is bound to run

{harmonica fill} Chasing down a cold and distant sun

{chromatic bass

walkup}

Ride that hobo train,

let the engine moan (mmmmm)

Ride that hobo train,

I'm a long way from home

(yeah) {thick doubled chorus vocal,

short chromatic

bass walkup} {salty electric guitar solo with plate reverb

and bends} {loping

blues

groove, brushed

snare, walking bassline} Steam is rising from the iron wheels

{harmonica fill} You don't know how empty this traveler feels

{clipped guitar stab} Ticket in my pocket,

dust on my shoes

{harmonica fill} Just another mile of these hobo blues

{gritty 12-bar turnaround, rising guitar fills,

hard stop} {fading groove,

loping cymbals, slow brushed snare} Ride that train (mmmmm) {final dry harmonica

reed buzz, soft guitar bend}
