Josh Ritter
Southern Pacifica
[Verse 1]
Southern Pacific
Red, white and blue
Where are we running to?
Over the wide plains
Over the wide plains
Take me to some place new
[Chorus 1]
Remember me to Roxy Anne
(You know she’s still lovely)
Tell her I was on the move
(The last time you saw me)
That you only saw the back of my head
[Verse 2]
Climb through the timbers
And I’ll breathe the dust of
Cosmos and wild rose bud
Thunder the unknowns
In the phosphorous white glow of
Sabertooth bones in the dusk
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Remember me to Roxy Anne
(You know she’s still lovely)
Tell her I was barely there
(The last time you saw me)
That you only saw the back of my head
[Outro]
Southern Pacific
Take me to meet
Whatever is hunting for me
