Southern Pacifica Lyrics
Southern Pacific
Red, white and blue
Where are we running to?
Over the wide plains
Over the wide plains
Take me to someplace new
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
Climb through the timbers
And I'll breathe the dust
Of cosmos and wild rose bud
And thunder the unknowns
In the phosphorous white glow
Of saber-tooth bones in the dusk
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
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
Southern Pacific
Take me to meet
Whatever is hunting
For me...
I think Souther Pacific is the rail road. It was bought out by Unnion Pacific whose colors are red, white, and blue. Roxy Ann is a mountian in Oragan which the Southern Pacific railroad ran past. The subject of the song is on the rail road, maybe a worker. Roxy Ann is his home.
you are clueless. Union Pacific colors are yellow and grey. The Southern Pacific ran from southern california through arizona and new mexico, texas. NOT Oregon.

This, out of all of his songs, really really reminds me of Calexico.
Such a lovely song, something wistful and optimistic about it.
