The Streamlined Cannonball Lyrics

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

(Chorus)
Oh, she drives along like a cannonball
Like a star on its heavenly flight
This lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels thru the night

Her headlight gleams out into the nightHank Snow - The Streamlined Cannonball - http://motolyrics.com/hank-snow/the-streamlined-cannonball-lyrics.html
Her firebox flash you see
The blinds I ride and the lights I love
Are home, sweet home, to me

(Repeat chorus)

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

(Repeat chorus)
