southbound train

well she was born in a north woods town, twenty-one winters ago, and she grew tired of the freezing cold, and living in the blinding snow, but this girl knew she wouldn't be there long, 'cause she had plans and dreams, and she'd seen pictures of the sunshine state, in the pages of the magazine, so she waited them tables and she used her smile, saving every penny she can, for a one-way dixie bound amtrak ticket, headed for the promised land, her momma and daddy begged her not to go, when the day she dreamed of came, and she waved goodbye sittin' way up high, from the window of a southbound train, now she's got a fire burnin' deep inside, ridin' on a southbound train, and the clickity-clack of that railroad track, only helps to fan the flames, no more worries, no more cares, she left them up in bangor, maine, now she's startin' a brand new life, ridin' on a southbound train, whoa. she said, 'hello sun, good mornin' daytona, you're sure lookin' good to me, with your ocean breeze and your tall palm trees, and your southern hospitality', now she's a knockout queenie in a string bikini, she's drivin' all the boys insane, and this all started with a small town dream, and a ticket on a southbound train, 'cause she had a fire burnin' deep inside, ridin' on a southbound train, and the clickity-clack of that railroad track, only helps to fan the flames, no more worries, no more cares, she left them up in bangor, maine, yeah she likes the boys with the southern drawl, soakin' up the sunshine, havin' a ball, she'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all, to ridin' on a southbound train, whoa.oh.
