Great North Special been on my mind
Ninety-nine children had a chance to go
Might as well, might as well
Rock and roll wailing in the old caboose
Might as well, might as well
Might like to ride it just one more time
Work on the box car, beat on the bell
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
No great hurry, what do you say?
(Might as well, might as well)
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well travel the elegant way
Then switch over to the Cajun style
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
Never had such a good time in my life before
Night the chariot swung down low
Nothing else shaking so you might just as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
Run out of track and I caught the plane
One long party from front to end
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Back in the county with the blues again
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
Bringing 'long the party where they need it the most
I'd like to take that ride again
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Long train running from coast to coast
Ragtime slowly for twenty-five miles
Bar car loaded with rhythm and blues
Might as well, might as well
One good ride from start to end
I'd like to have it one time more
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
Tune to the whistle going round the bend
