Streamline Cannonball |
It’s a long steel rail and a short cross tie |
I’m on my way back home |
I’m on that train, the king of them all |
That Streamline Cannonball |
She moves along like a cannonball |
Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
As she travels through the night |
I can see a smile on the engineer’s face |
And although he’s old and gray |
A contented heart, he waits for his call |
On the Streamline Cannonball |
She moves along like a cannonball |
Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
As she travels through the night |
The headlight beams out in the night |
And the firebox flash you can see |
I ride the blinds. |
It’s the life that I love |
Lord, it’s home sweet home to me |
She moves along like a cannonball |
Like a star in it’s heavenly flight |
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love |
As she travels through the night |
