Twenty, twenty, twenty sixteen minutes before four I'm up and out the door
We're heading for New York, won't be no more complaining
We're just racing for the train and I'm feeling so alive
And all this driving has been draining
I get to sit back, ride down the track
And hypnotize myself with a clickety-clack
As I watch the morning sun light up Eastern PA
It's the beginning of a beautiful day

I got a ticket with a gold star
We got the best seats in the quiet car
Crossing the nation, expectations set to very high bar
And it's worthy of the journey from afar

In Philly we take ten, empty out to fill again
Roll backwards and then we head up around the bend
Across the state line, we're making perfect time
And I'm feeling so at ease, I see the end of the line
The rugged delegation rolls into the station
And readies itself for intrigue and exploration
Across the river from Weehawken where everything's okay
It's turned out to be a beautiful day

I got a ticket with a gold star
We got the best seats in the quiet car
Crossing the nation, expectations sets a very high bar
And it's worthy of the journey from afar

A thousand people clog the street, hating on the heat
He walks out and greets us, now his tenure's complete
And we wail as we sing happy trails
I feel like we'd be rich if I put these tickets up for sale
Now we wait for the stage to roll on the stage
And incite A. Burr into a murderous rage
And Burr's wife is an angel bringing Chinese takeaway
As we cry across a beautiful day

Thirty, thirty-six stories tall
We look down on the ball that they're gonna let fall
When this year is finally all done and gone
And like time we move along
And I feel like a success with even less than what we got going on
All across Manhattan to the Battery and back again
We meet up with my sister and she shows us to the track again
We roll out of New York and back to Hershey, PA
As we leave behind a beautiful day
And we're on our way
