Steel wheels screaming on the track tonight Station lights blur in neon flight Ticket in my hand, no turning back Following rails down a one-way track Whistle blows, the engine calls Through the valleys, past it all Time keeps moving, can't slow down Iron horse won't turn around Ride the iron horse, ride it till the end Through the storms and sunshine, round every bend Life's a locomotive, can't control the speed All we do is hold on to what we need Ride the iron horse, ride the iron horse Let it take you where you're meant to go Faces in the window, strangers passing by Some get off at heartbreak, some at goodbye I've been riding since I learned to breathe Collecting scars like tickets up my sleeve Whistle blows, the engine calls Through the valleys, past it all Time keeps moving, can't slow down Iron horse won't turn around Ride the iron horse, ride it till the end Through the storms and sunshine, round every bend Life's a locomotive, can't control the speed All we do is hold on to what we need Ride the iron horse, ride the iron horse Let it take you where you're meant to go Chug-a-chug, chug-a-chug Feel the rhythm in your blood Chug-a-chug, chug-a-chug Iron horse won't give up Steam and smoke, fire and coal Burning bridges, losing control But the tracks keep calling me home On this iron horse, I'm never alone Ride the iron horse, ride it till the end Through the storms and sunshine, round every bend Life's a locomotive, thundering through time All aboard this rhythm, all aboard this rhyme Ride the iron horse, ride the iron horse Let it take you where you're meant to go Steel wheels singing, journey's never done Iron horse keeps running toward the rising sun Chug-a-chug, chug-a-chug Till the final station comes
