Lyrics for Song: Empire State Express
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2008]



I went down to the station

Leaned against the door

Went down to the station

Leaned against the door

I knew it was the Empire State Express

I could tell by the way she blows



I asked the depot agent

Please let me ride the blinds

Asked the depot agent

Please let me ride the blinds

He said, "Son, I wouldn't mind

But the Empire State ain't mine"



You know that Empire State

She rides on eastern time

That Empire State

Rides on Eastern time

She's the rolling ingest, baby

On the New York Central line



It was a mean ol' fireman

And a low down engineer

It was a cruel fireman

And a low down engineer

That took my woman away

And left me standing here



Yes, the engineer blew the whistle

The fireman rang the bell

The engineer blew the the whistle

The fireman rang the bell

It was a cruel fireman

And a low down engineer

That took my woman away

And left poor me standing here



Yes, the engineer blew the whistle

The fireman rang the bell

The engineer blew the whistle

The fireman rang the bell

My woman's on board

She's waving me fare thee well



I'm gonna tell you

What that mean ol' train will do

I'm gonna tell you

What that mean ol' train will do

They'll take your woman away

And shoot black smoke back at you



They'll take your woman away

And shoot black smoke back at you
