[00:03.85]In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
[00:07.01]Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
[00:10.12]Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
[00:13.12]Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
[00:16.36]Hot and wasted Lord sweatin' in the sun
[00:19.47]'Cause I'm not a foreman 'till my work is all done
[00:41.96]Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
[00:44.70]I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
[00:47.76]Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
[00:50.90]Drivin' in a Chevy till my foreman get back
[00:54.06]Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
[00:56.88]There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out
[01:38.70]Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
[01:41.65]Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
[01:44.81]Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
[01:47.87]Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
[01:51.13]Here come the engineer honk his horn
[01:54.63]He got a train you got to let it roll on
[02:16.39]Let it rock
[02:32.28]All night long
