Burn the railroad down : so that Sunshine Special can't run
I got a gang of women : man they ride from sun to sun

Same old fireman : going to keep this same old engineer
So that Sunshine Special : is going to run me on away from here

Going to leave on the Sunshine Special : going in on the Santa Fe
Going to *set up and stop* that Katy : because it's taking my brown from me

Going to ride that kansas Texas : right on to San Antone
Somebody's been trying to fire your engines : man ever since you been gone

Cotton Belt is a slow train : also that I and C N
If I leave Texas anymore : going to leave on that L and N
