Transcontinental Railway (Larry W. Jones 10/31/2007) (song#5124)

I’m takin’ the transcontinental railway
To get my mind in repose
I’m takin’ the transcontinental railway
Gotta find where love still grows

I’ve packed my overnighter
Got my ticket in my hand
Nothing could be more righter
Than takin’ a train so grand

Eleven, departing the station this morning
Yearning, my heart will no longer be in mourning
Seven, I’m arriving at seven tomorrow
Seems like heaven, I’ll no longer be in sorrow

– instrumental –

Oh, I don’t know why I ever went astray
From my dear loving homestead shack
I’m takin’ the transcontinental railway
Transcontinental railway back

Oh, I don’t know why I ever went astray
From my dear loving homestead shack
I’m takin’ the transcontinental railway
Transcontinental railway back
