Iron child out of Vulcan's forge
Metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel
Hear the pistons clash
Black dragon breathing
Big black smoke
Howling up the tracks

I'm riding on the thunder chief
Spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
I like to see them try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver

Juggernaut coming down the line
Hear the banshee cry
Engineer likes to lose his mind
Glory in his eye
Too fast to live this way
Too young to die

I'm riding on the thunder chief
Spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
I like to see them try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hold tight, feel the driver's bite
Hear the whistle moan
Engine rocking on the left and right
Vibrating in my bones
Once the locomotive steals your soul
You got a Casey Jones

I'm riding on the thunder chief
Spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
Kiss your ass goodbye

I'm riding on the thunder chief
Spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can hurt me now
I like to see them try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver
