Well, I still remember what was said Like burning ambers in my head Well, as the sky was turning red Got a feel what lies ahead Oh, what would I do without you now 'Cause you're always the first to know Would you believe the world keeps rollin' Forever and ever and ever Just like a locomotive Well, we are the heavy load Just like a locomotive Lay the past out in the road Well, tuck your babies in their beds Drown your day with Walker Red Oooh, but there's still so far to go Cut the ties and forge ahead Oh, what could I do without you now 'Cause you're always the first to go Would you believe the world keeps rollin' Forever and ever Oh, just like a locomotive Well, we are the heavy load Oh, just like a locomotive Lay the past out in the road! If it rises, it falls Echo through music halls If it rises, it falls Some we won't rise at all! Oh, what would I do without now You're always the first to know Would you believe the world keeps rollin' Forever and ever Oh, just like a locomotive Well, we are the heavy load Oh, just like a locomotive Lay the past out in the road Oh, it's like a locomotive Well, we are the heavy load Oh, just like a locomotive Lay the past out in the road! And what rises must fall
