Frank Sinatra - On The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Lyrics
What a lovely trip, Im feeling so fresh and aliveAnd Im so glad to arrive, its all so grandIts easy to see you dont need a palaceTo feel like alice in wonderlandBack in ohio where I come fromIve done a lot of dreamin and Ive travelled someBut I never thought Id see the dayWhen I ever took a ride on the santa fe(wanna take a ride on the santa fe)I would lean across my window sillAnd hear the whistle echoin across the hillThen Id watch the lights till they fade awayOn the atchison, topeka and the santa feWhat a thrill (what a great big wonderful thrill)With the wheels a-singin westward hoRight from the day I heard them startcross the kansas plains from new mexicoI guess Ive got a little gypsy in my heartWhen Im old and grey and settled downIf I ever get a chance to sneak away from townThen Ill spend my busmans holidayOn the atchison, topeka and the santa feAll aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split)(rollin ninety miles an hour), I cant believe Im here at lastWoo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin, its best for youTo take the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!)I cant believe that anything could go so fastThen you pull that throttle, whistle blowsA-huffin and a-puffin and away she goesAll aboard for california*, hey!On the atchison (on the atchison)On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka)On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka)On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!*california pronounced californ-eye-ay
