Kansas City Southern

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

Hoping she might fall in love with me

Well the band started playin' right at nine

Firecrackers popped in the sky

We danced and we danced

Lord, I never had a chance

Well I got canned on the Fifth of July

And we laughed at the moonlight

I said "goodbye" in the gray light of dawn

Yes the girl of my dreams

Each and every night, it seems

Is the one that I hold in my arms

I was playin' in this tommyknocker 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

I said "goodbye" in the gray light of dawn

Yes the girl of 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 gray light of dawn

Yes the girl of my dreams

Each and every night, it seems

Is the one that I hold in my arms

Oh yes, the girl of my dreams

Each and every night, it seems

Is the one that I hold in my arms
