All along the southbound odyssey The train pulls out at Kankakee Rolls along past houses, farms and fields. Passin' trains that have no names, Freight yards full of old black men And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. CHORUS: Good morning America how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car. Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score. Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor. And the sons of pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel. Mothers with their babes asleep, Are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. CHORUS Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee. Half way home, we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness Rolling down to the sea. And all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream And the steel rails still ain't heard the news. The conductor sings his song again, The passengers will please refrain This train's got the disappearing railroad blues. Good night, America, how are you? Don't you know me I'm your native son, I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Alices Restaurant, Amazing Grace, Buffalo Skinners, Circles, Coopers Lament, De Colores, Guantanamera, Gypsy Davey, Here We Are, Here We Are/Way Out In The Country, Here We AreWay Out In The Country, Hobos Lullaby, I Will Be With You Tonight, Ive Just Seen a Face, If I Had A Hammer, Im Changing My Name To Chrysler, Im Going Home, Ive Just Seen A Face, Jacobs Ladder, Little Beggar Man, Los Angeles Arlo Guthrie, Meditation, Midnight Special, Mooses Come Walking, Mother the Queen of My Heart, Norman Always Knew, One Night, Patriots Dream, Percys Song, Ramblin Round, Ring-Around-A-Rosy Rag, Shackles And Chaines, Solo Le Pido A Dios, Standing At The Treshold, Stealin, Story of Reuben Clamzo & His Strange..., Story of Reuben Clamzo His Strange, Tennessee Stud, The Gal I Left Behind, The Garden Song, The Motorcycle Song (in album Arlo), The Power Of Love, The Ross Perot Guide To Answering Embarassing Questions, The Story of Reuben Clamzo And His Strange Daughter in the, The Streets of Laredo, This Land Is Your Land, Wabash Cannonball, Walking Song, Wheel of Fortune, When The Ship Comes In, Other Arlo Gunthrie song Lyrics Coming Into Los Angeles Lyrics Coopers Lament Lyrics Darkest Hour Lyrics Gabriels Mothers Highway Ballad 16 Blues Lyrics Last To Leave Lyrics Last Train Lyrics Motorcycle Significance Of The Pickle Song Lyrics Other Artists Guthrie Arlo Lyrics Arlo Guthrie Lyrics Armada Groove Lyrics Groove Armada Lyrics Armagedda Lyrics Armageddon Lyrics Armageddon Soundtrack Lyrics Armand Van Helden Lyrics Armando Martinez Lyrics Armando Palomas Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
