Lyrics

You know I love all the modern frills
I'm always cravin the latest
Sometimes I think all the hoopla and the thrills
Are far from the greatest
Life moves on and the pace keeps picking up
What once was plenty, now is not enough
It makes you wonder where it's gonna end
Let's head south and see some fair-weather friends

C'mon let's ride the train
All the way from Jersey to Georgia
No need to take a plane
Yes, it'll take quite a while
But we'll travel in comfort and style
On the train.

Lost jobs, ipods, downsize, supersize
No reason to get excited
CD, HD, TV, DVD
And it's all copyrighted
Red states, blue states, who knows what to think
It's enough to drive a saint to drink
The winner is the one who gets the most
Let's head west and see some dudeson the coast

C'mon let's ride the train
All the way from Philly to Frisco
No need to take a plane
We'll get back in touch with the land
We won't need to make any plans
On the train.

Springfield Mass to Springfield Miss
Springfield Illinois, can't be missed
Portland M to Portland O
Be sure take your family with you when you go
Newport News, to the Bay called Coos
Think of all the stuff you'd miss, if you flew
There's no better tune around
Than listening to the rails and that pounding sound


C'mon let's ride the train
All the way from Detroit to Denver
No need to take a plane
We'll see the whole USA
From Caribou to LA
On the train.

Instrumental Bridge

C'mon let's ride the train
All the way from Fargo to Fairview
No need to take a plane
The kids will have room to play
The food is almost gourmet

C'mon let's ride the train
All the way from Bangor to Boca
No need to take a plane
Yes it'll take quite a while
But we'll travel in comfort and style
On the train.
