[Verse] She wakes up with the sunrise, lace against her skin, Buttons up her uniform, the day is set to begin, She’s the only woman driving that old Southern line, But her heart's on the backroads, left her love behind. [Verse 2] Rolling through the valleys, past the fields of green, Her mind drifts back to sweet kisses in the moonlight sheen, Miles of iron between them, but she holds him near, In every whistle blow, his name's what she hears. [Chorus] Lady engineer, rollin' down that track, But she can't help wishin' she was goin' back, To those nights holdin' close, where time stood still, Oh, she'll drive a thousand miles, but she loves him still. [Verse 3] Every town she passes, they call her a sight to see, But what they don't know is her heart's not free, Steel wheels hum a melody, a lonely refrain, For the man she's dreamin' of while she drives that train. [Verse 4] She watches the sun sink, twilight turns to night, Moonlight through the window, soft as candlelight, She whispers to the shadows, pain too real to mend, Another mile gone, but she’ll love him ’til the end. [Chorus] Lady engineer, rollin' down that track, But she can't help wishin' she was goin' back, To those nights holdin' close, where time stood still, Oh, she'll drive a thousand miles, but she loves him still.
