When I was a young boy evening sun went down
I'd stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound
Of that Kansas City Southern man, man what's a lonesome sound
Well, I'd sit and watch those trains go by and I'd wish that I was outward bound
Well, I dreamed about big cities and the pleasures I would keep
'long about twelve-thirty through the phases of my sleep
I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man, man what's a lonesome sound
Well, I'd sit and watch those trains go by and I'd wish that I was outward bound
Instrumental
I've been in a couple of places I've seen a couple of things
Whenever I think back in time my memory forth rings
With that Kansas City Southern man that's a lonesome sound
Well, I'd sit and watch those trains go by and I'd wish that I was outward bound
