Up the Hudson Valley across New York state   To Chicago then the plains   All so easy and dreamlike   Crashing the salt flat day break      I hear "I'll take you home again Kathleen"   Sad in fogwinds out there that blow   Across the rooftops of eerie old hang over   San Francisco      Now I'm transcontinental   3000 Miles from my home   I'm on the California Zephyr   Watching America roll by   2x      I've hit the end of the trail, can't even drag my body   I've been driven mad for three years   Too much fame keeps a body busy   And a mind full of white port tears      Terrified by that sad song across rooftops   Mingled with the lachrymose cries   Of the Salvation army meeting on the corner   Saying Satan is the cause of it all      Now I'm transcontinental   3000 Miles from my home   I'm on the California Zephyr   Watching America roll by
