I caught a Union Pacific headed westbound howling at the moon A blanket of stars and my guitar that's when I wrote this tune
That "Midnight Express" will get you there if ya haven't a worry, or reason to care Headin' down the line, steady as she goes it's like heavy metal rock and roll ------------------------------------------------ Rode it up an' down to Sacramento when a railway man said, " Ya gotta go." I heated up iron 'til the trail went cold riding heavy metal rock and roll
Heavy metal, rock and roll it shakes and it quakes ,Β Β rattles my soul I wasn't born on a train but that's how I'll go thanks to heavy metal's rock and roll
-------------------------------------------------- Now every time I hear a whistle blow I think of "catchin' out" and wonder where it's goin' Well, I may sing like some "country folks" but, I love heavy metal & rock and roll
