I have heard your stories about your fast trains
But now I'll tell you about one all the southern folks have seen|g
She's the beauty of the southlands listen to that whistle scream
It's that pan american on her way to new or-leans.

She leaves cincinnati headin' down that dixie line
When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that
