Train To Amarillo (Larry W. Jones 01/26/2007) (song#4359)
Is this the train to Amarillo, I heard somebody say
And it was plain I'd heard that voice before
I was so surprised when she looked into my eyes
But before I could reply, she turned and stepped away
I was standing in the rain as I called out her name
Then she turned back to me and I heard her cries
The dining car waiter poured our past
Up to the brim of the tall wine glass
And we talked over times we both held dear
The Great Plains train whistle blew
As through the Texas night we flew
Knowing that Amarillo would soon be near
Amarillo summer nights when we were young
Were now igniting old memories one by one
We were two older dreamers, it was plain
On a midnight screamer, the Amarillo train
We were two older dreamers, it was plain
On a midnight screamer, the Amarillo train
When we got to the station, I kissed her goodbye
She had to go on to Santa Fe
How in all creation did I lose her to another guy
I still wonder to this very day
- instrumental -
The dining car waiter poured our past
Up to the brim of the tall wine glass
And we talked over times we both held dear
The Great Plains train whistle blew
As through the Texas night we flew
Knowing that Amarillo would soon be near
Amarillo summer nights when we were young
Were now igniting old memories one by one
We were two older dreamers, it was plain
On a midnight screamer, the Amarillo train
We were two older dreamers, it was plain
On a midnight screamer, the Amarillo train

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Howdy mate! There's just some kinda magic about trains. Always has been. I saw a great documentary on "The Ghan" when the trans-australia route was completed a couple years ago. Wow, what a ride that would be! I've got several more "train songs" on my website: "Blue Side Of The Track", "Midnight Zephyr", "Coal Black Train", "Old red Caboose", "Cotton Pickin' railroad Blues", "Freight Train From Texas", "Train To El Paso".
