[00:00.00]City of New Orleans (Album Version) - Randy Scruggs
[00:03.25]Written by：Steve Goodman
[00:06.51]Ridin' on the city of New Orleans
[00:11.80]Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail
[00:17.32]Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
[00:22.56]Three conductors twenty-five sacks of mail
[00:28.38]Out on the southbound odyssey
[00:31.43]The train pulls out of Kakakee
[00:34.19]And it rolls along past houses
[00:36.02]Farms and fields
[00:39.98]Passin' towns that have no name
[00:42.67]Freight yards full of old black men
[00:45.25]And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
[00:51.32]Good morning America how are you
[00:56.59]Say don't you know me
[00:58.24]I'm your native son
[01:01.72]I'm the train they call
[01:04.00]The city of New Orleans
[01:07.95]I'll be gone five hundred miles
[01:10.16]When the day is done
[01:16.72]Dealin' card games with
[01:17.91]The old men in the club car
[01:22.65]Penny a point ain't nobody keepin' score
[01:28.25]Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
[01:33.92]Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
[01:39.14]And the sons of pullman porters
[01:41.98]And the sons of engineers
[01:44.58]Ride their daddy's magic carpet make of steel
[01:50.79]Mothers with their babes asleep
[01:53.47]Are rockin' to the gentle beat
[01:55.94]And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[02:02.58]Good morning America how are you
[02:07.40]Say don't you know me
[02:09.07]I'm your native son
[02:12.37]I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
[02:18.67]I'll be gone five hundred miles
[02:20.81]When the day is done
[02:39.20]Nighttime on the city of New Orleans
[02:44.80]Changin' cars in Memphis Tennessee
[02:50.48]Halfway home we'll be there by mornin'
[02:55.76]Thru the Mississippi darkness
[02:57.20]Rollin' down to the sea
[03:01.79]But all the towns and people seem
[03:04.32]To fade into a bad dream
[03:06.99]And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
[03:12.81]The conductor sings that song again
[03:15.82]The passengers will please refrain
[03:18.80]This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues
[03:24.56]Good morning America how are you
[03:29.76]Say don't you know me I'm your native son
[03:34.85]I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
[03:40.99]I'll be gone five hundred miles
[03:43.20]When the day is done
