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
Mama's too poor to send me away but I've been saving up on most everyday
Little bit out of each check from the Gas and Deli

And the whistle keeps on blowing and the train keeps on rolling

And he said I ain't never been to New York City
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay, I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm 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
Didn't 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 ain't never been to New York City
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay, I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm going the day after today

The air is thick on the concrete isle, ain't nothing green for like twenty miles
And he ain't 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 time's arising"

Said I hear the whistle blowing, gotta catch it the train is rolling

And she said I ain't never been to New York City
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay, I ain't 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 ain't never been to New York City
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay, I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm going the day after today
