Kansas City Southern

Gene Clark Kansas City Southern written by Gene Clark

When I was a young boy evening sun went down

Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound

Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

A * E

And wish that I was outward bound

Well I'd dream about big cities

And the pleaseues I would keep

Long about twelve-thirty thru phase of my sleep

I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

A * E

And wish that I was outward bound

Well now I've been in a couple of places

Seen a couple of things

Whenever I think back in time

My memory rings

With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound

Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by

A * E

And wish that I was homeward bound

Don't you know how the whistles blows
