With a ticket in my pocket, I'm westward bound
Leaving the Big Apple's bustling town
Rails hum beneath, city lights fade away
Chasing the golden sun, to LA
Through the window, landscapes start to change
From concrete jungles to wide-open range
Each mile that passes, my heart feels light
Trading skyscrapers for stars every night
Riding the rails, dreams on track
From the noisy east to the laid-back
On a journey where my troubles slip away
From New York's dawn to LA's bay
Meet folks with tales along the way
Sharing laughter, night and day
In every station, a new story's told
Of city lights and fields of gold
Riding the rails, dreams on track
From the noisy east to the laid-back
On a journey where my troubles slip away
From New York's dawn to LA's bay
Time slips by, as the wheels keep rollin
Thoughts of you keep my heart from strollin
Though miles apart, love's always new
From the Hudson's breeze to the Pacific's blue
