To the tune of Dreamland...
If you have ever taken Amtrak, a comradery often occurs in time of
stress or delays...
This IS a true story- all thes folks are real...
It's a long long way to Canada
A long way on the train
They gave free soda and a choice of snacks
To make up for a 4 hour delay
(They do run, do run
They don't run, don't run...)
This college girls got a cell phone
Bitching at mom to meet her there
Hoping for a faster trip home
Mom tells her, "Stay right there,"
Amtrak Amtrak
Amtrak
This guy is from Toronto
First time in Chicago now
Says his family was adventurous
Amtrak changed their mind somehow
(They do run, do run
They don't run, don't run...)
A dad is drunk- kids a'whinin'
Kicking folks as they walk by
Mother cursing softly to her mate
Whishing they could fly
Amtrak...
Now a boy and girl are smiling
So in love, in love are they
And across the seating aisle
With a friend saome cards they play
All men all women crying
Hear that whistle all night long
Propped up on a ganja beat
Get to Toronto NOW
Amtrak..
The conductor is sarcastic
Over the intercom
Telling us to call the toll free line
For a pass or a refund...
Amtrak...
