riding the chief - chris jones & the night drivers lyrics

[verse 1]
jackson and c*n*l street, waiting on track nine, every year when summer came around
i drop my bag, walk upstairs, find a window view, on my own and albuquerque bound
rolling from chicago out into the plains, farmland and the cornfields drifting by
flying through missouri towards the setting sun, couldn’t wait to see the colorado sky

[chorus]
riding the chief along the winding rail
riding the chief on the santa fe trail
thirteen hundred miles of track
in my heart, i still go back
riding high, riding the chief

[verse 2]
midnight, it’s topeka, slowing to a halt, waking from a sleepy traveler’s dream
onward through the darkness, torchlights fade away, in the prairies, we be picking up steam
land of enchantment in the morning light, raton pass coming ’round the bend
one more stop in lamy, finally getting close, by then i didn’t want the trip to end
ninety miles an hour, forty years ago, i’m glad the chief is running to this day
in dreams, i’m on the platform, waiting once again to get onboard that n0ble westbound train

[chorus]
riding the chief along the winding rail
riding the chief on the santa fe trail
thirteen hundred miles of track
in my heart, i still go back
riding high, riding the chief
[outro]
riding high, riding the chief
riding high, riding the chief

- chris jones the night drivers lyrics
