Standing at the platform, waiting for a wail
To telling me it's approaching fast and sticking on right rail
It's been too long I've seen my dear and held her close to me
I need to hear that buffin' sound to give me guarantee
Speeding through the wilderness
Whistles in the night
The arizona express, faster than the light
People come and people go, patience ltd.
When that arizona express, brings her back to me
Down the flaming canyons sun is sinking low
Waiting for my loving one who left here a while ago
No matter where the sun sets of where the rail may lead
That arizona express is coming in full speed
Speeding
I see around the mountain, the smoke is coming thru
It won't be long, it's almost here, though badly overdue
And now the train is getting near, the breaks are squealing loud
My waiting days are over and i join the happy crowd
