Well, the big train keeps on rolling Rolling on down the track And the way she's moving, buddy I don't believe she's ever coming back
The fireman's smoking a big cigar Sipping Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux And the engineer's so happy He's just a-letting that whistle blow
She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling Down that long twin silver line
Well, she just blazed through Chicago Nonstop to L.A And the way she's steaming, buddy You better not get in her way
She's got the finest, fastest-pulling twin diesels She's got 93 cars in tow She's gonna be on time, all the way down the line Come the rain, hail, sleet or snow
She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling on right on time She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling Down that long twin silver line Rolling on down the line, oh, hey
And she just passed in Chicago Rolling into Kansas too Rolling into Denver Doing all she'll do And she hangs a big left in Salt Lake City Southwest to the Nevada line Rolling into California Right on time Rolling on down the line We're gone, oh Lord, hey yeah, alright
Keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine She keeps a-rolling She keeps a-rolling Down that long twin silver line, yeah
She keeps a-rolling on down the line She keeps a-rolling on down that line, oh yeah She keeps a-rolling on down the line Rolling on, right on time Rolling on down the line Down that long twin silver line (three time, we're coming)
Rolling, rolling Rolling on down the line Rolling, rolling Rolling on down the line I got ya, oh, hey yeah, alright"
