[Verse]
Steel tracks hum beneath my feet
Man of the rail car grind and heat
New cars loaded dreams on repeat
Hands blistered hands bleed hands ache
But I’ll keep pushing for their sake
[Chorus]
I’ll load these cars till the stars go dim
Do what I gotta for her and him
Railcar dreams keep rollin' on
For my family I’ll fight till the dawn
[Verse 2]
Pregnant wife back at home she waits
Her smile holds the weight of our fates
Empty fridge echoes hollow plates
But I’ll break my back bend my soul
To keep our future whole whole whole
[Prechorus]
Do you see me world? Do you care?
Man on the rail in the dirty air
[Chorus]
I’ll load these cars till the stars go dim
Do what I gotta for her and him
Railcar dreams keep rollin' on
For my family I’ll fight till the dawn
[Bridge]
Calloused palms cradle the moonlight
Sweat and smoke drown out the fight
I’ll climb the ladder I’ll take the fall
A man with nothing will give it all
