Always on My Mind

The train whistle sounds out the days of Santa Fe

Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, the CB&Q, let history begin along the railway

Now Burlington Northern, Santa Fe, BNSF, at last a united team, what a great site

Up the hill, down the hill, through the mountains, and below the underpass, and turnpike

The engineer waves as though we've known each other for all time

Family roots, wearing conductor's hats, traveling afar on another vacation

As the years pass, the train track lives on, carrying passengers, and freight, a mission with a cause, gives me a great sensation

There's no real explanation how much I love these dear old trains, they make my heart climb

My favorite way to travel, now get me a ticket today, for today and tomorrow, trains will stay always on my mind

Let the trains of yesterday, the steamer's so unique, never die, never go away, let them go

As the whistle blows, know that Dina's in the kitchen, while someone's playing that ole banjo

Trains will remain today, and forever, always on my mind
