The Del McCoury Band - The New York Trains lyrics

Artist: The Del McCoury Band

album: Del & Woody


My wife came in this morning from Texas down the line
In the Big Grand Central Station, the clock was striking nine
She rode the Southwest Limited on the New York Central road
She chartered 16 coaches, and brought the kids along
We rode the bus and subways all over New York Town
To rent us an apartment and think about settling down
The trains run through the buildings and also underground
And you spend another nickel every time you turn around

The subway trains are crowded and when they make a stop
You're at the wrong derm station, and you push the fire Cop
They even push and squeeze and squirm, they slip and slide and crowd
And when your station comes along, it seems you can't get out
We hooked a train and rode an hour to see the Bronx Park Zoo
And landed out in Brooklyn on Utica Avenue
You got to change your subway train at every stop or so
And every time I come out wearing a different set of clothes

We loaded in a taxi cab to haul us 'cross the town
It registered up a nickel every time the wheel went 'round
He charged us 11 dollars and 87 cent
And down in Texas, that's enough to pay six months of rent
Now friend, if you are from the South or either way out West
And you got a wife and children that you love your very best
If you come to New York City from American's plane of view
You'd better bring a wagon load of greenback dollar bills
