I saw America by train
from the Rocky coast of Maine
to the vast Texas plain
I saw America by train
Boarding at South Station
in New England at Boston
over the tracks we were racing
to the Texas Eagle at Austin
Through piney woods and trails
beyond the Alamo and Dallas
we flew along speedy rails
to the end of the run at Los Angeles
You can still see America by train
though Congress hates the track
and tries to flush it down the drain
lowly Amtrak keeps fighting back.
