I’ve felt the thunder chained to the wheel
I’ve seen ’em tumble it down
Call this survival
I’ve watched the skies
Too many mouths to feed
I’ve seen ’em swindle this town
Don’t pray for a sign
Or pray for a sign
Ain’t life enough
I’ve seen red rivers, fire and steel
I’ve heard the legends
I’ve seen red rivers, fire and steel
Down on the water front
I feel the power
Don’t know where it’s at
Can’t fight your destiny
Know what you mean to me
Rust on the rail
You can’t get it back
Don’t look for light'n
Better watch out Jack
Goes deeper than that
I’ve seen ’em swindle this town
Nights on the mainline
The flame in your eyes
Know what you really want
I’ve seen ’em tumble it down
