FRANK SINATRA - On The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe lyrics

rate me

What a lovely trip, I'm feeling so fresh and alive<br>And I'm so glad to arrive, it's all so grand<br>It's easy to see you don't need a palace<br>To feel like alice in wonderland<br>Back in ohio where I come from<br>I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travelled some<br>But I never thought I'd see the day<br>When I ever took a ride on the santa fe<br>(wanna take a ride on the santa fe)<br><br>I would lean across my window sill<br>And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill<br>Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away<br>On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe<br>What a thrill (what a great big wonderful thrill)<br>With the wheels a-singin' westward ho<br>Right from the day I heard them start<br>'cross the kansas plains from new mexico<br>I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart<br>When I'm old and grey and settled down<br>If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town<br>Then I'll spend my busman's holiday<br>On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe<br><br>All aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split)<br>(rollin' ninety miles an hour), I can't believe I'm here at last<br>Woo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin', it's best for you<br>To take the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!)<br>I can't believe that anything could go so fast<br>Then you pull that throttle, whistle blows<br>A-huffin' and a-puffin' and away she goes<br>All aboard for california*, hey!<br>On the atchison (on the atchison)<br>On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka)<br>On the atchison, topeka (on the atchison, topeka)<br>On the atchison, topeka and the santa fe!<br><br>*california pronounced californ-eye-ay
