Tons of Steel

Brent Mydland

[Verse 1]
I know these rails we're on like I know my
Lady's smile
Re-see a dozen dreams in every passing mile
Can't begin to count the trips
That she and I have made
But I wish I had a dollar
For each time we've both been down this grade

[Chorus]
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Made to roll
Her brakes don't work and this grade's so steep
Her engine's sure to blow
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller coaster than the train I used
To know

[Verse 2]
It's one hell of an understatement to say she
Can get mean
She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine
She wasn't built to travel at
The speed a rumor flies
These wheels are bound to jump the tracks
Before they burn the ties

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Murphy's sure outdone himself to pick this
Stretch of track
I can only hope my luck is riding in the back
Well I have prayed to God
This ain't the day we meet
I've done about everything
But try dragging my feet

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oo, oo, I wanna go down slow
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller coaster than the train I used
To know
