Kansas City Southern Lyrics - Singles - Pure Prairie League

When I was a young man, and the evening sun went down 

I'd walk along those railroad tracks and I'd listen for that sound 

Kansas City Southern... man that's a lonesome sound! 

Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by and I'd wish 

That I was onward bound. 

Well I dream about the big cities and the pleasures that I keep 

Along about 12:30 through the phases of my sleep I hear that 

Kansas City Southern... man that's a lonesome sound! 

Well I sit and watch those trains go by and I wish 

That I was onward bound. 

Won't you blow... whistle blow! 

Won't you blow... whistle blow! 

I been a couple-a places... I seen a lotta things... 

Whenever I reach back in time my memory starts to ring I hear that 

Kansas City Southern... man that's a lonesome sound 

Now I sit and watch those trains go by and I wish 

That I was homeward bound. 

Won't you blow... whistle blow! 

Won't you blow... whistle blow! 

Won't you blow... 

Won't you blow...
