When I was a young boy evening sun went down
Stand off by the railroad tracks and I'd listen for the sound
Of that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
Well I'd dream about big cities
And the pleaseues I would keep
I'd hear that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
Well now I've been in a couple of places
Seen a couple of things
With that Kansas City Southern man that'a a lonesome sound
Well I'd sit and watch those trains go by
A * E
Don't you know how the whistles blows
