[Verse 1]
Engine, engine number 9
Can you get me back on time?
Move on, move on down the track
Keep that steam comin' out the stack
Keep on movin', keep on movin', keep on movin'

[Hook]
Engine, engine number 9
Keep on movin' down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face

[Verse 3]
Been here, been so long since I held her
Been so long since I held her
Been so long since I held her
Been so long since I kissed her

[Refrain]
Engine, engine number 9
Move on, move on down the line
Seems like I've been gone for days
I can't wait to see my baby's face
Move on, move on, move on
Got to get on, I got to get there
