Orange Blossom Special
Journey of Love: Orange Blossom Special's Railroad Romance
Lyrics
Look a-yonder comin'
Anticipation and observation of something approaching
Comin' down that railroad track
Confirmation of the approaching entity on the railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
Reiteration and excitement about the approaching entity
Comin' down that railroad track
Reconfirmation of the entity's presence on the railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special
Identification of the entity as the Orange Blossom Special
Bringin' my baby back
Expressing the purpose of the Orange Blossom Special: bringing the speaker's baby back
Well, I'm going down to Florida
Announcement of the speaker's destination: Florida
And get some sand in my shoes
Desire to experience the sandy environment of Florida
Or maybe California
Alternative consideration of going to California for a similar sandy experience
And get some sand in my shoes
Reiteration of the desire to have sand in the shoes
I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special
Declaration of intent to ride the Orange Blossom Special
And lose these New York blues
Expression of the speaker's intention to overcome the blues associated with New York by riding the train
Hey, talk about a-ramblin'
Highlighting the impressive speed and capabilities of the Orange Blossom Special
She's the fastest train on the line
Emphasizing the train's status as the fastest on the line
Talk about a-travellin'
Reiteration of the train's remarkable traveling speed
She's the fastest train on the line
Confirmation of the Orange Blossom Special as the fastest train on the line
It's that Orange Blossom Special
Reaffirmation of the identity of the train
Rollin' down the seaboard line
Indication of the train's movement along the seaboard line
