Like a locomotive
Comin' down the line
Ground starts to tremble
Gonna make you mine

So I said to the drivers
Get the coal to burn
Can start to feel the traction
Then I start to yearn

Such a wild sensation
Seems by design
My loco imagination
Working overtime

A Number One is the only one
To successfully ride on Number Nine
But you give your kiss to me
And I'll be the Emperor of the North
A Number One

Just like a locomotive
Let's keep a rhythm going

Go ahead [Big Al guitar solo]

Just close your eyes and we're off again
This line won't make another stop
It's so well synchronized
It's time to take this to the top
Now, open up your eyes

It's like a locomotive
Let's keep a rhythm going
Just you and me baby
Let's take this rhythm home
Let's take this rhythm home

Let's take a ride on the Reading

Ride, ride, ride on
Ride, ride, ride on

It's gonna take the New York Central
To get this whole job done
