Streamline Cannonball Lyrics

Introduction
It's a long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home
I'm on that train the king of them all
That streamlined cannonball
horus
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
Instrumental
I can see a smile on the engineer's face
And although he's old and gray
A contented heart he waits for his call
On the streamline cannonball
horus
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound from the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
Instrumental
The headlight beams out in the night
And the firebox flash you can see
I ride them blinds it's the life that I love
Lord it's home sweet home to me
horus
She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star in it's heavenly flight
The lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
Travels through the night (Fade)
