Lyrics
Honest work was the name of the game
Before I boarded the train
Adventure set and on my mind
Like a wheel running down the track
The old man tended the stack
Look out boy, she's rolling home to you
Fireman twisted and turned
Watched the way the coal burned
Her glorious eye never lied
I knew I'd be next in line
Soon it would be my time
Stoke the flame and play my life's game
Gears moved like thunder struck
Sweatin against our luck
Praying that she'd stay in line
But the salt mine always has its way
Watching you waste away
Maybe you'll bury yourself in due time
Rivers and valleys came and went
I often contemplate time spent
Praying for peace and for what I might find
I hoped one day I'd see it through
That she really comes rolling home to you
Till then I'll keep you on my mind
Gears moved like thunder struck
Sweatin against our luck
Praying that she'd stay in line
But the salt mine always has its way
Watching you waste away
Maybe you'll bury yourself in due time
