California Zephyr
Up the Hudson Valley across New York stateTo Chicago then the plainsAll so easy and dreamlikeCrashing the salt flat day breakI hear "I'll take you home again Kathleen"Sad in fogwinds out there that blowAcross the rooftops of eerie old hang overSan FranciscoNow I'm transcontinental3000 Miles from my homeI'm on the California ZephyrWatching America roll by2xI've hit the end of the trail, can't even drag my bodyI've been driven mad for three yearsToo much fame keeps a body busyAnd a mind full of white port tearsTerrified by that sad song across rooftopsMingled with the lachrymose criesOf the Salvation army meeting on the cornerSaying Satan is the cause of it allNow I'm transcontinental3000 Miles from my homeI'm on the California ZephyrWatching America roll by Aus Songtexte Mania
