Up the Hudson Valley across New York state
To Chicago then the plains
All so easy and dreamlike
Crashing the salt flat day breakI hear, "I'll take you home again Kathleen"
Sad in fogwinds out there that blow
Across the rooftops of eerie old hang over
San FranciscoNow I'm transcontinental,
3000 Miles from my home.
I'm on the California Zephyr,
watching America roll by
Now I'm transcontinental,
3000 Miles from my home.
I'm on the California Zephyr,
watching America roll byI've hit the end of the trail, can't even drag my body,
I've been driven mad for three years.
Too much fame keeps a body busy
and a mind full of white port tearsTerrified by that sad song across rooftops
Mingled with the lachrymose cries
Of the Salvation army meeting on the corner
Saying Satan is the cause of it allNow I'm transcontinental,
3000 Miles from my home.
I'm on the California Zephyr,
watching America roll by.
Now I'm transcontinental,
3000 Miles from my home.
I'm on the California Zephyr,
watching America roll by.
