Loading...

[verse 1]
august 2019 and five
miss burning off the sun’s rising high
and the steam from the engine mixes with the fog
till ones just like the next
cut by the whistle call

[verse 2]
mind your job boys and take your work to heart
one wrong move and we’ll all be torn apart
there’s no room for error, sure death for mistakes
if pride in your work won’t guide you
let the fear of god today

[chorus]
pennies on the track boys, pennies on the tracks
lay em down today cause i might not be back
if i lose control running down thе grade
and the carolina special takеs another life today
the carolina special takes another life today

[verse 3]
in ninety days, they took the line up the grade
a hundred men, convicts a little more than slaves
all gave there days and many gave their life
to cut a flat above the river of this luxury line
[verse 4]
they crushed the rock and they cut the earth away
and they crushed those men as the progress was made
every white man lost sense was written down
not those scores of men of the kind we didn’t count

[chorus]

[verse 5]
two hundred tons a rolling down the line
cold steel cradle for a hundred lives
screaming down the mountain, chaos control
all a board pray that the brakeman’s keep hold
we’re flying by the graves of those who came before us
the men who shaped this ground and were buried in the forest
they call to me as we pass by

some men live and dome men die
some men live and dome men die
and the carolina special is the finest line
of the finest steel and finest design
and i think she’s gonna get us through safe today
then keep those spirits calls at bay
i think she’s gonna get us through safe today
i think she’s gonna make it through today
[solo]

[verse 6]
my wife begged this morning, said please don’t go
your family needs you more than they need you on that railroad
i said, settle down, don’t you worry
and i lied and said nothing could happen to me
the man wants to be part of something greater than he is
leave a mark to show that he lived
he might dance with danger
he might dance with death
and i might today before i’m home to rest

[chorus]

[outro]
another life today
another life today
