[Verse] Year gone long in sun's embrace 772 left in a dusty place Steel dreams lay in a rusty maze Waiting for the dawn to blaze [Verse 2] Wheels once strong now barely turn On the sidetrack left to burn Reds and whites to blackened hue Echoes of the crew [Chorus] Oh rusty queen of the track ain't forgotten yet North Wester brings you back no need to fret Missouri's hands of gold fix up your soul Get you running hot again back on your patrol [Verse 3] Workshops hum with life anew Hammers forge and sparks they flew Decades gone with each new bolt Waking up the iron colt [Bridge] Cinders kiss that old steel frame Paint fresh with your steamed-up name Number 772 now flies the steam Living out the iron dream [Chorus] Oh rusty queen of the track ain't forgotten yet North Wester brings you back no need to fret Missouri's hands of gold fix up your soul Get you running hot again back on your patrol
