[Verse] Tracks that stretch to nowhere land Steel and timber hand in hand Steam and diesel side by side Onward to the great divide [Chorus] Rollin' down the iron lane Through the storm and through the rain A river made of grit and clay North Wester pulse night and day [Verse 2] Smokestacks whisper tales of old Engines mighty fierce and bold Rattling through the sun and snow To places only dreamers go [Chorus] Rollin' down the iron lane Through the storm and through the rain A river made of grit and clay North Wester pulse night and day [Bridge] Echoes in the midnight air Whistles blow without a care Memories on every mile Rails turn longing into a smile [Chorus] Rollin' down the iron lane Through the storm and through the rain A river made of grit and clay North Wester pulse night and day
