[Verse 1]
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 ever 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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, yeah
Rolling on down the line, oh hey!

[Bridge]
And she just passed in Chicago
Rolling into Kansas too
Rolling into Denver
Doing all she'll do, yeah
And she hangs a big left in Salt Lake City
Southwest to the Nevada line
Rolling into California
Right on time, yeah
Rolling on down the line

[Guitar Solo: Pete Carr]

[Chorus]
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, yeah
[Outro]
She keeps a-rolling on down the line
She keeps a-rolling on down the line, oh yeah
She keeps a-rolling on down the line
Rolling on right on time
Rolling on down the line
Down that long twin silver line
Three times:
Oh oh oh
All right
Again now, ooh
All right
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on down the line
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on down the line
Oh hey
