[Verse 1] I wake before the sun comes up Coal black hands around my cup Fire in the belly of this iron beast We're heading west then heading east Soot on my collar rune on my glove This is the only life I love Pull the whistle feel her roar Never wanted anything more [Pre-Chorus] Full throttle wide open free This whole country belongs to me Every mile every rail every bend I'd ride this line right to the end [Chorus] Locomotive Mage rolling down the line Locomotive Mage everything is fine Blow the whistle cast the spell Living good and living well Locomotive Mage rolling down the line [Verse 2] Bandits on the ridge line up ahead Don't they know they'd better stay in bed One hand on the throttle one hand throws a spark Watch them scatter running in the dark Back to business back to speed This old engine's all I need Countryside rolling past my door Mountains plains and rivers more [Pre-Chorus] Full throttle wide open free This whole country belongs to me Every mile every rail every bend I'd ride this line right to the end [Chorus] Locomotive Mage rolling down the line Locomotive Mage everything is fine Blow the whistle cast the spell Living good and living well Locomotive Mage rolling down the line [Bridge] Some men chase their fortune some men chase their fame Some men run from something I just love this game Sun going down and stars coming out This is what life's all about [Final Chorus] Locomotive Mage rolling down the line Locomotive Mage everything is fine Blow the whistle cast the spell Living good and living well Locomotive Mage rolling down the line Locomotive Mage rolling down the line Rolling down the line
