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 Whistle whine Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans. If your ever in the south lands and want to see the scenes Just get your self a ticket on that pan american queen There's louivill nashville montgomery the cap'tal of ala-bam You pass right through then all when your new orleans bound. She leaves cincinnati headin' down that dixie line When she passes that nashville tower you can hear that Whistle whine Stick your head right out the window and feel that southern breeze Your on that pan american on her way to new or-leans.
