Well I used to be a dreamer, but that was such a long time ago   Yeah I used to be a walking man 'round them dusty back roads   Hangin' 'round the track waitin' by the main line   Listen to the rumble rockin' rhythm and time   I was swingin' with that jump up beat   Down on Track 49      Well I used to be a loaner and I thought I had nowhere to go   Yeah I used to be a boozer, a blew rock into a whole lotta dough   Then a heard them horns a blastin' and the next thing I knew   I was a jumpin' and a jive'n just a shakin' my shoes   Yeah I boogie away all my blues   Down on Track 49      Yeah, lets ride!      Yes, tell me . . .       Well I used to be a loser and I almost lost my handle on life   Yeah, I spent my nights in darkness, searching for an end to my strife   Yeah, then I heard them horns a-blastin' and it's makin' me high   Like the fireworks a-flyin' on the fourth of July   Ain't worried about nothin' now   Down on Track 49
