[00:00.00]Dixie Flyer - Randy Newman
[00:31.72]I was born right here November '43
[00:40.18]My dad was a captain in the army
[00:43.70]Fighting the Germans in Sicily
[00:49.15]My poor little momma
[00:52.45]Didn't know a soul in L A
[00:56.78]So we went down to the Union Station and made our getaway
[01:03.96]Got on the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
[01:12.55]Across the state of Texas to the land of dreams
[01:19.44]On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
[01:27.83]Back to her friends and her family in the land of dreams
[01:35.54]Her own mother came to meet us at the station
[01:42.31]Her dress as black as a crow in a coal mine
[01:48.84]She cried when her little girl got off the train
[01:55.60]Her brothers and her sisters come down from Jackson Mississippi
[02:02.24]In a great green Hudson driven by a Gentile they knew
[02:08.73]Drinkin' rye whiskey from a flask in the back seat
[02:15.00]Tryin' to do like the Gentiles do
[02:18.59]Christ they wanted to be Gentiles too
[02:22.64]Who wouldn't down there wouldn't you
[02:26.64]An American Christian God damn
[02:33.74]On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
[02:41.93]Back to her friends and her family in the land of dreams
[02:49.02]On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
[02:57.26]Across the state of Texas to the land of dreams
[03:05.20]Across the state of Texas to the land of dreams
