* *  X2
Said  I want to live the city life
This  small town could eat me alive
I  gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes  me
Mama's  too poor to send me away
 But I've been saving  up on most everyday
Little  bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli
And  the whistle  keeps on blowing
 And the train  keeps on rolling
 And he said
I  ain't never been to New  York City
I  ain't seen the San Francisco  Bay
I  ain't never tried my hand  in Vegas
 But you bet  your bottom dollar
 That's where I'm going the day  after today
 So he locked  the door and he killed the lights
 Took a six  pack to get him through the night
 Didn't have  a plan just a good sense of direction
 And Maybelline,  his beauty queen
 She cried  all night cause the sheet were clean
 But he left  her a lovers' note there apologizing
He  said I hear  the whistle blowing
 Gotta catch  it the train is rolling
The  air is thick on the concrete isle
 Ain't nothing  green for like twenty miles
 And he  ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding
 So he took  his foot from out his mouth
 And he packed  his things and went back down south
 But Maybelline  said "Babe my time's arising."
Said  I hear  the whistle blowing
 Gotta catch  it the train is rolling
 And she said
I  ain't never been to New  York City
I  ain't seen the San Francisco  Bay
I  ain't never tried my hand  in Vegas
 I  never seen the L.A lights shine bright
 Bright, brighter  than your smile was ever
Brighter  than my desire was ever
Longer  burning than our love was ever...ohhhhh
