City Of New Orleans Lyrics - David Hasselhoff

Riding on the City of New Orleans 

Illinois Central Monday morning rail 

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders 

Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail 

Their out on the southbound odyssey 

The train pulls out of Kankakee 

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields 

Passin' towns that have no names 

Freightyards full of old grey men 

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles. 

Singing 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 with the old men in the club car 

Penny a point, aint't no one keepin score 

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle 

Feel the wheels rumblin 'neath the floor 

And the sons of the pullman porters 

And the sons of the engineers 

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel 

And the days are full of restless 

And the dreams are full of memories 

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel 

Singing 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 before the day is done 

Well, its twilight on the city of New Orleans 

Talk about your pocketful of friends 

Half way home and we'll be there by mornin' 

No tomorrow waitin' round the bend

Singing 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 before the day is done 

Singing 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 before the day is done
