When I was a young boy standing at the railroad track
I'd wave up at the conductor and he'd smile and wave right back
And I'd watch that caboose as far as my eyes can see
And I'd say to myself, you know, someday the conductor is going to be me
And I'll be riding that train across the country
I'll be riding that train across the USA
I'll be riding that train 'till I just can't ride it no more
When I was a little older with my car parked at the railroad track
Stuck my head out the window waved up at the conductor
And he just smiled back
When those red lights stopped flashing
My eyes followed that caboose down the line
And I said to myself, you know, someday that whole railroad
is gonna be mine
And I'll be riding that train across the country
I'll be riding that train across the USA
I'll be riding that train 'till I just can't ride it no more
Now I'm a family man
And as I stand at the railroad track
I wave up at the conductor and he gives me a hard look back
And I watch that caboose as far as my eyes can see
And I say to myself, you know, that conductor looked a little bit
like me
And I'll be riding that train across the country
I'll be riding that train across the USA
I'll be riding that train from New York City to LA
Philadelphia Yeah
Seattle yeah, Chicago Yeah, the City by the Bay hey, hey
New Orleans yeah
San Diego yeah
San Antonio Yeah
St. Louis yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
