Cardboard Mansion

I saved up some money to ramble around
To travel the country and leave this little town
I'm telling this story for you ramblers all around
One night in a cardboard mansion, you'll be Blue Ridge Mountain bound

Refrain:
I built a cardboard mansion over steam from the ground
I spent the night a-praying, afraid to make a sound
I'm buying a ticket on the first train leaving town
One night in a cardboard mansion, you'll be Blue Ridge Mountain bound

I left the Blue Ridge Mountains seven months ago
To see the big city, to ramble, don't you know
I didn't find employment, my money was running low
I got to New York City just in time for snow

Refrain

Last refrain:
I built a cardboard mansion over steam from the ground
I spent the night a-praying, afraid to make a sound
I'm buying a ticket on the first train leaving town
I'm a-leaving New York City and Blue Ridge Mountain bound

One night in a cardboard mansion, you'll be Blue Ridge Mountain bound
