Ironheart Express
Old wheels turn on rusty track
Steam rising in the morning light
He pulls the load one final time
Dreaming of the open line (huff huff)
Run old engine run
Show them what you still can do
Steel heart beating true
One last mile for you (yeah)
Modern trains streak by like silver ghosts
Laughing at his slow and steady pace
But he remembers every hill he climbed
Every whistle in the night (huff huff)
Run old engine run
Show them what you still can do
Steel heart beating true
One last mile for you (ooh)
The sleek ones pass with neon speed
But he holds his ground with pride
Steam and smoke and iron will
Carrying the years inside (ahhhh)
Run old engine run
Show them what you still can do
Steel heart beating true
One last mile for you (yeah)
Wheels slow on the final bend
Whistle fades into the wind Pride in every turn he made
