Might As Well 
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia

Great North Special, were you on board?
You can't find a ride like that no more
Night the chariot swung down low
Ninety nine children had a chance to go

One long party from front to end
Tune to the whistle going round the bend
No big hurry, what do you say
Might as well travel the elegant way

Chorus
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)
Might as well, might as well
(Might as well, might as well)

Ragtime solid for twenty five miles
Then slip over to the Cajun style
Bar car loaded with rhythm and blues
Rock and roll wailing in the old caboose

Long train running from coast to coast
Bringing 'long the party where they need it the most
Whup on the box car, beat on the bell
Nothing else shaking so you might just as well

[chorus]

Never had such a good time
In my life before
I'd like to have it one time more
One good ride from start to end
I'd like to take that ride again

Run out of track and I caught the plane
Back in the county with the blues again
Great North Special been on my mind
Might like to ride it just one more time

[chorus]
  

    
It sounds like Jerry sings "The late John Lennon been on my mind"
instead of Great North Special been on my mind on 4/6/84.
  

    
Hmmmm. That would be kind of amazing!
  

    
Does anyone else hear it?  Or is it just me?
  

    
How I love it took about 30 seconds from the time I read this until I had
gone to archive/advanced search/gd date/play to see if I could hear it.

Yes, that is what it sounds like he is saying. It is at 2:38 for anyone who
doesn't want to listen to the first 2:38.
