作词 : Mydland I know these rails we're on, like I know my lady's smile We see a dozen dreams in every passing mile Can't begin to count the trips that she and I have been But I wish I had a dollar for each time we've both been down this grade And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's so steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know It's one hell of an understatement, to say she can't get me She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine She wasn't built to travel at the speed of the butterflies These wheels are bound to jump the tracks before they burn the ties And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's so steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know Murphy sure out done himself to pick this stretch of track I can only hope my luck is ridin' in the back Well I have to pray to God this ain't the day we meet I've done about everything but try dragging my feet And 100,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's so steep, her engine's sure to blow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know I wanna go down slow And 100,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know
