This song was inspired by a trip down to Florida to see my parents. I wrote the lyrics while I was on the Silver Star, a fourteen hour trip from Raleigh, North Carolina to Tampa Bay Florida. The train noises you hear in the song were also recorded on that same train on the way back to my home in North Carolina.

Please enjoy!
Lyrics:
Riding on the City of Neigh Orleans
Ponyville central Tuesday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless ponies
Three Conductors and Twenty five stacks of mail

all along this southbound odyssey
then heading west for San Horsee,
Rolls along the apple's house farms and fields
passing that pony who has no name
and other places all the same
and graveyard of timeless castles stills

Good morning Equestria how are you
Don't you know me I'm your native son.
I'm the train they call the City of Neigh Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred mills when the day is done

Dealin' card games with an old stallions in the club car
two bits a point ain't no pony keeping score.
Passing the paper bag that hold the cyder
feeling the wheels rumblin' neath the floor.

the hours that quietly pass us by
sun and moon in harmony
along this great magic carpet made of steel.
the rocking puts us fast a sleep
and rolling to that genital beat
and rhythm of the night line is all they feel

Good morning Equestria how are you?
don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of Neigh Orleans
I'll be gone Five hundred miles till the day is done.

Night time on the City or Neigh Orleans
Changelings may be roaming, but none I see
Half way home thank Celestia in the morning
Though the super long darkness
Luna look over me.

when Tiredness takes it's toll on me
I'll meet her in a good dream
and she'll be there to give me some news
The conductor sings his song again
the passengers settle in
this train got the disappearing railroad blues

Good morning Equesria How are you?
Don't you know me, I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City or Neigh Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles till the day is done.
