Said I want to live the city life
This small town could eat me alive
I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me
Mamas too poor to send me away
But Ive been saving up on most everyday
Little bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli
And the whistle keeps on blowing
And the train keeps on rolling
And he said
I aint never been to New York City
I aint seen the San Francisco Bay
I aint never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar
Thats where Im going the day after today
So he locked the door and he killed the lights
Took a six pack to get him through the night
Didnt have a plan just a good sense of direction
And Maybelline, his beauty queen
She cried all night cause the sheet were clean
But he left her a lovers note there apologizing
He said I hear the whistle blowing
Gotta catch it the train is rolling

And he said
I aint never been to New York City
I aint seen the San Francisco Bay
I aint never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar
Thats where Im going the day after today
The air is thick on the concrete isle
Aint nothing green for like twenty miles
And he aint use to the sun and moon a hiding
So he took his foot from out his mouth
And he packed his things and went back down south
But Maybelline said "Babe my times arising."
Said I hear the whistle blowing
Gotta catch it the train is rolling
And she said
I aint never been to New York City
I aint seen the San Francisco Bay
I aint never tried my hand in Vegas
I never seen the L.A lights shine bright
Bright, brighter than your smile was ever
Brighter than my desire was ever
Longer burning than our love was ever....
And she said
I aint never been to New York City
I aint seen the San Francisco Bay
I aint never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar
