Southern pacific
Red, white and blue
Where are we running to?
Over the wide plains
Over the wide plains
Take me to some place new
Remember me to Roxianne
(You know she's still lovely)
Tell her I was on the move
(Last time you saw me)
That you only saw the back of my head
Climb through the timbers,
And I'll breathe the dust of
Cosmos and wild rosebud
Thunder from unknown
Phosphorous white glow
Sabre-tooth bones in the dusk
Remember me to Roxianne
(You know she's still lovely)
Tell her I was on the move
(Last time you saw me)
That you only saw the back of my head
Remember me to Roxianne
(You know she's still lovely)
Tell her I was barely there
(Last time you saw me)
That you only saw the back of my head
Southern pacific
Take me to meet
Whatever is hunting for me
