California Zephyr

Up the Hudson Valley, across New York State
 To Chicago, then the Plains
 All so easy and dream-like
 Crashing the Salt Flat daybreak
 I hear "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen"
 Sadly fog winds out there to blow
 'Cross the rooftops of eerie old hangover
 San Francisco
 Now 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
 I'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 wipe or tears
 Terrified 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 all"
 Now 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
