| 作词 : Belew | |
| I recall as a boy we would hop the freights | |
| Wasn't nothin' but a kick back then | |
| There was no better thrill for my anxious heart | |
| Than a long flatcar | |
| Headin' out of the yard | |
| And i knew even then she was in my blood | |
| Like the time when i first hired on | |
| And the fireman laughed at my bony nose | |
| But he tossed me a cap | |
| Said gm&o | |
| And i was a man... | |
| I gave her my best years | |
| Well, what can you do but laugh | |
| I don't expect she'll ever be coming back | |
| When we climbed up the great appalachians | |
| Her engines would be raging like hell | |
| Then we'd come back down to the rising towns | |
| Where the cattle stare | |
| In the frozen air | |
| For me there nothing more sacred | |
| Than the beautiful sound she'd make | |
| Her long blue signal blowin' deep in the night, | |
| It would get to me there, | |
| It would get to me there | |
| Now i'm afraid... | |
| Afraid of these silent hours | |
| Awake underneath my old cap | |
| I don't expect she'll ever be coming back | |
| Well, i watched the beginning of the end for her | |
| When i saw my first jet airplane | |
| Flying high overhead like a bird of prey | |
| While the mighty fell | |
| In the land of the brave | |
| Now i'm alone. |
