So's they don't know I'm here hopping this freight, I'd better ride the blind. C'mon. Don't be afraid!

To ride in the empty boxcar of the train typically used for freight instead of passengers. Used frequently in lyrics of the blues music genre.

I was a hobo and had to ride the blind to get from Memphis to Chicago.
