All along the southbound Odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee and rolls along the houses, farms and fields, passing towns that had no names and freight yards full of old black men and the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. Good morning America, how are you? Say 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 man in the club car, penny a point and no one's keepin' score, pass the paper bag that holds the bottle, you can feel the wheels grumblin' neath the floor. And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers ride their father's magic carpet made of steam mothers with their babies asleep are rochin' to the gentle beat and the rhythm of the rails is all they feel. Good morning America, how are you? Say 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. Night-time on the City of New Orleans changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee halfway home, we'll be there by morning through the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea. But all the towns and people seen to fade into a bad dream and the steel rail hasn't heard the news the conductor sings his songs again, it's passengers will please refrain, this train's got the disappearin' railroad blues. Goodnight America, how are you? Say 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: Drowning Man, Eli, Epilogue, Evangelina, Every Hand In The Land, Face of Time, Fence Post Blues, Garden Song, Gates of Eden, Give It All You Got, Grocery Blues, Guabi, Guabi, Gypsy Davy, Highway In the Wind, Hobos Lullaby, I Could Be Singing, I Ride an Old Paint, I Want To Be Around, Ill Be With You Tonight, Im Going Home, If I Could Only Touch Your Life, If You Would Just Drop By, Introduction, Jamaica Farewell, John Looked Down, Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream, Last To Leave, Last Train, Lay Down Little Doggies, Lightning Bar Blues, Living Like A Legend, Lovesick Blues, Major Blues, Manzanillo Bay, Massachusetts, Meditation (Wave Upon Wave), Miss the Mississippi and You, Moon Song, My Creole Belle, My Front Pages, My Love, Mystic Journey, Now and Then, Ocean Crossing, Oh Mom, Oh, In The Morning, Oklahoma Hills, Oklahoma Nights, Patriots Dream, Percys Song, Other Guthrie Arlo song Lyrics 1913 Massacre Lyrics All over the World Lyrics All This Stuff Takes Time Lyrics Anytime Lyrics Buffalo Gals Lyrics Carry Me Over Lyrics Chilling of the Evening Lyrics Coming Into Los Angeles Lyrics Connection Lyrics Coopers Lament Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists 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 Armatrading Joan 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
