California Zephyr
Up the Hudson Valley, across New York State
To Chicago, then the Plains
All so easy and dream-like
Crashing the Salt Flat daybreak
I hear "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen"
Sadly fog winds out there to blow
'Cross the rooftops of eerie old hangover
San Francisco
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
I've hit the end of the trail, can't even drag my body
I've been driven mad for three years
Too much fame keeps a body busy
And a mind full of wipe or tears
Terrified by that sad song across rooftops
Mingled with the lachrymose cries
Of The Salvation Army meeting on the corner saying
"Satan is the cause of it all"
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
To Chicago, then the Plains
All so easy and dream-like
Crashing the Salt Flat daybreak
I hear "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen"
Sadly fog winds out there to blow
'Cross the rooftops of eerie old hangover
San Francisco
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
I've hit the end of the trail, can't even drag my body
I've been driven mad for three years
Too much fame keeps a body busy
And a mind full of wipe or tears
Terrified by that sad song across rooftops
Mingled with the lachrymose cries
Of The Salvation Army meeting on the corner saying
"Satan is the cause of it all"
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
Now I'm transcontinental
3000 miles from my home
I'm on the California Zephyr
Watching America roll by
