Mississippi Flyer

Got myself a ticket on the Mississippi Flyer

Settled in the cabin, I'm a man for hire

Looking at the passengers, stared 'em on down

Gotta get out of this one-horse town

Glad to see the back of that woman of mine

Blow the train whistle right on time

On time, on time

On time, on time

On time

The Mississippi Flyer is the train to ride

See the wheels spinning as the boiler fires

Feel like a Thunderbird burning tires

Smokestack puffing out across the plain

Cutting through the forest in the pouring rain

Thunderstorm coming on the eastern side

Mississippi Flyer is the train to ride

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride

The Mississippi Flyer is the train to ride

Thundering on to a new location

Ain't no stopping as we roar through the station

Another town gone, gonna ease my pain

Ain't nothing better than a midnight train

One thing, baby, if you wanna know

Mississippi Flyer is the way to go

Let's go, let's go

Let's go, let's go

Let's go

The Mississippi Flyer is the way to go

On time

The Mississippi Flyer is the train to ride

Feel the wheels spinning as a boiler fires

Feel like a Thunderbird burning tires

Smokestack puffing out across the plain

Cutting through the forest in the pouring rain

Thunderstorm coming on the eastern side

Mississippi Flyer is the train to ride

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride

The Mississippi Flyer is the way to go

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride, let's ride

Let's ride
