Ridin' The Sunshine Special

I’m gonna ride that happy train when it comes rolling
When it comes rocking and a-rolling down the track
I found a one way ticket on the sunshine special
I ain’t a-counting on coming back
I got a gal a waiting down in sunshine valley
In the valley where the blues are not allowed
And the sunshine special is a-rocking and a-rolling
Neath a sky of blue that never has a cloud
I left the blues far behind me
I’ll never worry about ‘em anymore
I’m going where troubles cannot find me
They’ll have a band to meet me
When i pull up by the station door
When the sunshine special heads in your direction
Just be waiting at the station with your pack
That’s one ride you can afford when they holler all aboard
It’s goodbye blues we ain’t a-coming back
