Legends of the Rails

I look at the clock it's a quarter to four
It's been a long day, I can't take anymore
I've got to get away and head down the track
With a full head of steam and no looking back
I hear the pistons pounding out the beat
I feel the rhythm underneath my feet
And I dream... Oh yeah I dream
I dream Of the Legends of the Rails

Of the Legends of the Rails

I've got a temperature of a 103
I've got train fever and the one remedy Is a steamer, black
Headed down the line
Through the hills and into the pine
Travelin' along through the countryside I put my hand on the throttle and I open it wide
And I dream... Oh yeah I dream
I dream Of the Legends of the Rails

Of the Legends of the Rails

A black silhouette against the moonlight
A whistle echoing into the night
By the rocky hills through the mountain snow
100 miles and 100 to go
It's a journey back to a place and time
When a hot cup of coffee only cost you a dime
And I dream... Oh yeah I dream
Of the Legends of the Rails
