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
She´s got ninety three cars in tow
She´s gonna be on time
All the way down the line
Come the rain hail sleet or snow

She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on right on time
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line

And she just passed in Chicago
Rolling into kansas too
Rolling into Denver
Doing all she´ll do
And she hangs a big left in Salt Lake City
Southwest to the Nevada line
Rolling into California
Right on time
Rolling on down the line
