Turnpike Troubadours - Kansas City Southern lyrics

Well I was working on the KCS Rail Line Katie was the girl down the street Well I took her to a dance on the Fourth of July Hopin' she might fall in love with me Well the band started playing right at nine Firecrackers popped in the sky We danced and we danced Lord I never had a chance I got canned on the 5th of July And we laughed at the moonlight Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms I was playin in the Tommy Knocker Tavern Jenny was the girl at the bar Well I sang every song for her and her alone And kissed her neath the Colorado stars And we laughed at the moonlight Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms Seasons come and change just like the leaves Red oaks in the kai nation wind Well they scatter and they fall Where they land I can't recall Will I ever find my darlin again And we laughed at the moonlight Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms
