about

A fun ride on texas trains: February 2014, Houston-Austin stretch on the Amtrack 21 Eagle Southbound.
Dedicated to our good friend, Barton Springs Protector and music connoisseur extraordinaire Mr Bill Bunch. (Howdy, Bill !)

lyrics

"Amtrack 21 -
Texas Eagle Southbound ! "

Got me time for a tchoo-tchoo
Grabbed a few old clothes,
Stuffed 'em in a bag,
I gotta move on through...

I met a man named Joe
He been on the rails 30 months or more
He had a big ole scar through the back of his head:
I think you know the score.

Went through the metroplex,
Looked for a Tex-Mex
Had a brisket instead
Then we went back inside
And moved down the line
Past the Cleburne Bend

CHORUS
Got me time for a tchoo-tchoo
Amtrack 21
Texas Eagle Southbound
I'm going to Austin Town

- instr. -

You get to hear them stories
You get to see them sights
You get to know them folks
You get to know their fears
You get to know their lives

You wanna feel the spirit ?
You want to hold the truth ?
Get off that train
And grab the next seat
Down to Bâton Rouge !

CHORUS

- instr. -

When you ride 'em rails,
You know the next town is never far away
You're up on them wheels and you're Texas-bound
I think you'll be okay
Through them fields
And the dots on the map
And the cities, too
Down to Austin-Town,
Eagle Southbound,
How are you ?

CHORUS
Got me time for a tchoo-tchoo
Amtrack 21
Texas Eagle Southbound
I'm going to Austin Town
Going down to Austin
Got me time for a train
Eagle Southbound
To see a friend again !
