Amtrak Crescent
Well the Amtrak Crescent is a north bound trainWhen you can't afford to stay no more in New OrleansSo I bought the cheapest ticket and I carried my clothesAnd the blood beneath my eyes from a broken noseWhen life goes wrong this train goes on and onWhen life goes wrong this train goes onWell there aint no ham like the Birming-hamTo make a fella wanna stay in AlabamBut I crossed into Georgia into Eastern TimeAnd dared to eat a peach to take it off my mindWhen life goes wrong this train goes onSomewhere between right and wrongSomehow I manage to keep moving onSearching for any place but where I amAnd a first and second chanceAt a stop in Charlotte found a hogs leg jointSeemed like forever 'til we reached High PointNow Lynchburg to Danville that's a ghost filled railIf you listen you can hear the engineer's wife wailWhen life goes wrong this train goes onBetter say Manassas if you say Bull RunOr in Virginia you won't get along with anyoneBut just across the river you can change your tuneLike all the politicians there in DC doWhen life goes wrong they just go onChorusIt used to be pretty on the Eastern ShoreNow its more New York down to BaltimoreIt took so much effort just to move this trainWhy does everything around me have to look the same?Like when life goes wrong, it just goes on and on
