A long steel rail a short crosstie
I'm on my way back home
I'm on the train the king of them all
that Streamlined Cannonball

[CHORUS]
She moves along like a cannonball
like a star on its heavenly flight
This lonesome sound of the whistle you love
as she travels through the night

Her headlight gleams out in the night
her firebox flash you see
The blinds I ride and the lights that I love
are home sweet home to me

CHORUS

I can see the smile of the engineer
although he's old and gray
A contented heart he awaits back home
of the Streamlined Cannonball

CHORUS
