Locomotive

Well, I still remember what was said
Like burning ambers in my head
Well, as the sky was turning red
Got a feel what lies ahead
Oh, what would I do without you now
'Cause you're always the first to know
Would you believe the world keeps rollin'
Forever and ever and ever
Just like a locomotive
Well, we are the heavy load
Just like a locomotive
Lay the past out in the road
Well, tuck your babies in their beds
Drown your day with Walker Red
Oooh, but there's still so far to go
Cut the ties and forge ahead
Oh, what could I do without you now
'Cause you're always the first to go
Would you believe the world keeps rollin'
Forever and ever
Oh, just like a locomotive
Well, we are the heavy load
Oh, just like a locomotive
Lay the past out in the road!
If it rises, it falls
Echo through music halls
If it rises, it falls
Some we won't rise at all!
Oh, what would I do without now
You're always the first to know
Would you believe the world keeps rollin'
Forever and ever
Oh, just like a locomotive
Well, we are the heavy load
Oh, just like a locomotive
Lay the past out in the road
Oh, it's like a locomotive
Well, we are the heavy load
Oh, just like a locomotive
Lay the past out in the road!
And what rises must fall
