[Verse 1]
The rails hum low, the ground shakes deep,
A beast rolls on, it don't need no sleep.
Rust and fire, its veins run hot,
A steel spine cuts through this one-road lot.
[Prechorus]
Smoke in the sky, shadows stretch long,
Every mile it sings its iron song.
[Chorus]
One hundred thousand tons of steel,
Rolling fast, it don't feel real.
A southern heartbeat, raw and true,
The weight of the world comes barreling through.
[Verse 2]
Cattle graze where the whistle blows,
Cornfields bow when the engine shows.
The grind and grind, the endless track,
No stopping this train, no turning back.
[Prechorus]
Heat on the wind, sparks in the night,
It owns the dark, devours the light.
[Chorus]
One hundred thousand tons of steel,
Rolling fast, it don't feel real.
A southern heartbeat, raw and true,
The weight of the world comes barreling through.
