Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, she was born in a north woods town
Twenty-one winters ago
And she grew tired of the freezing cold
And living in the blinding snow
But this girl knew she wouldn't be there long
'Cause she had plans and dreams
And she'd seen pictures of a sunshine state
In the pages of a magazine
[Verse 2]
So she waited them tables and she used her smile
Saving every penny she can
For a one-way dixie-bound Amtrak ticket
Headed for the promised land
Her mama and daddy begged her not to go
When the day she dreamed of came
And she waved goodbye sitting way up high
From the window of a southbound train
[Chorus]
Now she's got a fire burning deep inside
Riding on a southbound train
And the clickity-clack of that railroad track
Only helps to fan the flames
No more worries, no more cares
She left them up in Bangor, Maine
Now she's starting a brand new life
Riding on a southbound train
[PostChorus]
Woah, yeah
[Instrumental]
She said, "Hello sun, good morning Daytona
You're sure looking good to me
With your ocean breeze and your tall palm trees
And your southern hospitality"
Now she's a knockout queenie in a string bikini
She's driving all the boys insane
And this all started with a small town dream
And a ticket on a southbound train
[Chorus]
'Cause she had a fire burning deep inside
Riding on a southbound train
And the clickity-clack of that railroad track
Only helps to fan the flames
No more worries, no more cares
She left 'em up in Bangor, Maine
Yeah, she likes the boys with a southern drawl
Soaking up the sunshine, having a ball
She'll be the first to tell you that she owes it all
To riding on a southbound train
[Outro]
Ooh-hoo
[Instrumental]
Ooh-ha
[Instrumental]
Woo
