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
