Ride That Line (All the Way to Tromsø)
(Verse 1) Well the wind is howlin', snow's knee-deep, But my engine's hot and I ain't losin' sleep. Steel on steel, baby, hear that moan, I’m layin’ down track with a piston groan. (Pre-Chorus) From Bergen up to Narvik town, This locomotive don’t slow down... (Chorus) Oh I ride that line, pushin’ through the drift, Snow blowin’ wild, but I’ve got the gift. She whistles low, then she starts to blow, When my train goes deep through the hills of snow. Yeah, I plough on through, nice and slow— 'Til I hit that peak in ol’ Tromsø. (Verse 2) Her tunnel's tight, but I squeeze right in, Stokin’ that fire, let the games begin. She's got curves that test my brakes, But I hold on tight when the mountain shakes. (Bridge) Ice might bite, and the night runs long, But my steam is strong and my rhythm’s on. She shivers once, then twice, then more— And suddenly we’re rockin’ that northern shore. (Chorus) Yeah I ride that line, through sleet and snow, With a smokestack rising, nice and slow. She hums beneath with a throaty sound, When my train rolls in, she comes unwound. Oh, conductor knows just where to go— Take me home to sweet Tromsø. (Outro) So if you're cold and need some heat, I got a firebox and a velvet seat. Just wave me down, I’ll make that stop— 'Cause this train don’t quit till we hit the top... Woo-woo!!
