Raising Steam |
| Over high plains, through the snow |
| Roll those tracks out, don’t you know, I’m raising steam |
| Thin vein creeping, hot blood flow |
| Spill a little where the new towns grow |
| I got my whole life hanging in a sack |
| Heading out into that wide world wide |
| You got your locomotive sitting on your track |
| And I don’t care which way I ride |
| I may not be coming back |
| Left a lady with a heart |
| All in pieces come apart, raising steam |
| That engine up front |
| Must have a heart big enough for the both of us |
| Riding shotgun on the sunset, stare it in the eye |
| Rocking on my heels out to the west |
| Funny how the whole world, historically |
| Feels the urge to chase the sun to rest |
| We may not be coming back |
| Let me be your engineer |
| Have you smiling ear to ear, raising steam |
| And will you tell me how it feels |
| When you’re up and rolling on your driving wheels? |
| I got my whole life hanging in a sack |
| Heading out into that wide world wide |
| I’ll be your locomotive blowing off its stack |
| And I don’t care which way I ride |
| I may not be coming back |
| Raising steam, raising steam |
| Raising steam, I’m raising steam |
| Raising steam, raising steam |
| Raising steam, raising steam |
