Carry Me Away

I fell in love in '59 On the west coast Starlight Line Traveling from Chico to LA As I settled in the tavern car I heard a voice, smooth as caviar Asking me to carry her away Woh, woh, away ho Woh, woh, away ho Way, way, away ho Way, way, away ho Away, away, carry me away An angel whispered in my ear That there was nothing I should fear And surely there were questions I could ask I gazed into her eyes Shivered from my head down to me thighs Put down my drink and stuck manly to the task We settled down on Signal Hill She worked, I drank, she paid the bills A couple of kids came and went along the way And I can't count the days which passed Since that good lady breathed her last But now I'm traveling back to Chico from LA Woh, woh, away ho Woh, woh, away ho Way, way, away ho Way, way, away ho Away, away, carry me away
