Lyrics:
And I'm ridin' on the
Cotton Belt railroad line
In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise
Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm
Ridin' on the Cotton
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white
the West
Bringing the railroad to where no man has ever been before
Johnny - he worked on the railroad, pounding on iron and steel
Working his way out
I long for the trip I don't need no grip I'm takin' one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air I guess it's in my hide
Oh the clickety clack
Baby, I'm goin' down
Well, I'm no Hells Angel
But I like to pretend I'm the king of the highway
On the prairie wind
With a black leather soul
I'm
Sunday at the freight yard, just hanging around
Sitting with my little boy while the prairie sun beats down
Sweating in the shade while the memories
One more ride I long for the trip I don't need no grip I'm takin' one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air I guess it's in my hide
Oh
I will long for a trip, don't need no grip
I'm takin' one more ride
'Way out there in the prairie air
I guess it's in my hide
For the clickety-clack
I long for a trip, I don't need no grip, I'm takin' one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air, I guess it's in my hide
For the clickity-clack
I know a man, his name is Hoad
Now he is ugly, like a toad
He got green eyes and wrinkled skin
Ain't no place he never been
Up and down the railroad
They had a vision, head on West
Build a railroad to the West They had a vision head to West
Locomotive wheels, over prairie fields, buffalo meals,
I long for a trip, I don't need no grip, I'm takin' one more ride
Way out there in the prairie air, I guess it's in my hide
For the clickity-clack
a couple of hens
A mule that plows every now and then
But mostly balks and wears me thin
He can't talk but I swear he grins
Don't call it a prairie if
a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
This song is called "Alice's Restaurant
"It's about Alice,
I was raised upon the prairie
Right off Highway 24
Before the railroad tracks were buried
Forevermore
But the whistle of that train
Still echoes in
Jenny
On a Saturday night all the girls run free
singing "bury me not on the lone prairie"
but where do you go when you finish broken-hearted?
Adios days on the wide open prairie
Nights in the canyon are gone
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
and me I'm here all on my own
I'm all on my
the railroad tracks"
He says, "eagles in jet trails"
He says, "coils around feathers and talons on scales"
"Gravel under the belly plates"
He says, "wind in
the railroad tracks"
He says, "eagles in jet trails"
He says, "coils around feathers and talons on scales"
"Gravel under the belly plates"
He says, "wind in
new song
Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins
Lord get me outta
we left him at the railroad
Louis V and Ferragamo, double G my belt buckle
Louis sneaks I bought my mama, she don't know that I'm a stepper
Mike
As if no one ever told ya
Magic City North Dakota
Was a town that met it's quota really quick
A railroad track hacked through a prairie
Packed with
One morning on the prairie as Jack he rode along
A listening to the mockingbird a singing a cheerful song
Out stepped a band of troopers, Kelly, Davis
