Tons Of Steel

[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 like the ties [Chorus] [Verse 3] Murphy's sure out done 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] Oh, oh I want to go down slow
