I wanna feel the rush rumbling in
Dark of night against the wind
Burning coals glow red hot
Steam whistle in the dead of night
'Cause it's a drag
It's a drag
It's a drag running slow freight
Cross the bridge at 12:15
Sky as clear as I can see
Moonlit rails shine for me
But a wildcat I'll never be
'Cause it's a drag
It's a drag
It's a drag running slow freight
Over the bridge and up the hill
Gonna pick up speed gonna get my thrills
Down the slope like rails to hell
My steam engine never fails
It's a drag
It's a drag
It's a drag running slow freight
It's a drag
It's a drag
It's a drag running slow freight
