Rolling Steel
Die Fahrt mit der Alaska Railroad durch die schneebedeckten Berge der Rocky Mountains bildeten die Inspiration für den Text über die Stahlmonster, die die Passagiere in Glaskuppelwaggons über die Schienen ziehen. |

Tons of roaring thunder, tons of rolling steel, Rumbling through the canyon, echoes from the wheel. Noise comes from the engine, running on the track Always pushing forward, never looking back. |

I can’t slow down, drive from town to town Well, I can’t slow down, 'cause the train is driving around |

Feeding coal and fire, smoke is blowing wide, Wheezing up the mountain, through the country side. Never try to stop me, get out of my way Spitting like a wide bull, running every day. |

I can’t slow down, drive from town to town Well, I can’t slow down, ‘cause the train is driving around |

Crossing streets and rivers over bridges wide, Running power engines, take me through the night. Dreams of endless freedom, dreams of giant space, Many years of railroad at a steady pace. |
