Words and music by bob seger



Well the big train keeps on rolling

Rolling on down the track

And the way she's moving buddy

I don't believe she's a-coming back



The fireman's smoking a big cigar

Sipping lafite rothschild bordeaux

And the engineer's so happy

He's just a-letting that whistle blow



She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine

She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling

Down that long twin silver line



Well she just blazed through chicago

Nonstop to l.a.

And the way she's steaming buddy

You better not get in her way

She's got the finest fastest pulling twin diesels

She's got ninety three cars in tow

She's gonna be on time

All the way down the line

Come the rain hail sleet or snow



She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling on right on time

She keeps a-rolling

She keeps a-rolling

Down that long twin silver line

Rolling on down the line

And she just passed in chicago

Rolling into kansas too

Rolling into denver

Doing all she'll do

And she hangs a big left in salt lake city



Southwest to the nevada line

Rolling into california

Right on time

Rolling on down the line
