Irene Kelley - Carolina Special

INNER CITY RAIL TAKING OFF FROM CINCINNATI
ENGINEER CRIES OUT, ALL ABOARD
13 COACHES LONG SHE’S THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY
AND ALL OF THE MEMORIES IT HAD IN STORE

Chorus:IT’S THAT CAROLINA SPECIAL
LIKE A GHOST, SHE HAUNTS THE TRACK
ROLLS AND RATTLES ‘CROSS THE TRESTLE
A TROUBLED SOUL LONGING TO COME BACK
CAROLINA SPECIAL

STORIES TOLD OF OLD IT WAS MORE THAN A LUXURY LINER
PULLMAN CARS, CIGARS AND BIGGER DREAMS
AS THEY WATCHED THE WORLD GO BY
AND NOTHING COULD BE FINER
A TRIP TO ANOTHER TIME
IN A TIME MACHINE

Repeat chorus
