(verse 1)
The Coast Starlight, she sighs a dreamy sigh,
From Seattle's grey to L.A.'s sun so high.
Redwoods whisper secrets as she rolls on by,
A tin can river 'neath the western sky.
(verse 2)
Snow on Shasta melts like butter on a bun,
Portland's roses blush, their fragrant race is run.
Frisco's fog rolls in, then quickly it is gone,
The train keeps chugging, 'til the morning's come.
(chorus)
Oh, the Coast Starlight, she's a rambling queen,
Across the mountains, and the valleys green.
From city bustle to the ocean's sheen,
The best darn train you've ever seen!
(verse 3)
Cities flicker past like fireflies at night,
The ocean's breath, a cool and salty bite.
Each mile a postcard, bathed in golden light,
A real west coast train adventure, pure delight.
(verse 4)
Just clickety-clack, the rhythm of the track,
Leavin' all your troubles, ain't no turnin' back.
The world unfolds before you, ain't no need to pack,
Just ride the Coast Starlight, and you'll be right on track.
(chorus)
Oh, the Coast Starlight, she's a rambling queen,
Across the mountains, and the valleys green.
From city bustle to the ocean's sheen,
The best darn train you've ever seen!
(bridge)
I saw a lady with a suitcase full of dreams,
A fella with a banjo, playin' by the streams.
A couple holdin' hands, beneath the moon's soft gleams,
Ridin' on the Starlight, lost in thought, it seems.
(chorus)Oh, the Coast Starlight, she's a rambling queen,
Across the mountains, and the valleys green.
From city bustle to the ocean's sheen,
The best darn train you've ever seen!
(chorus 2x)
Oh, the Coast Starlight, she's a rambling queen,
Across the mountains, and the valleys green.
From city bustle to the ocean's sheen,
The best darn train you've ever seen!
