Great Big Rollin Railroad by C.W. McCall Lyrics
We're a great big rollin' railroad
One that ev'rybody knows
We were born of gold and silver spikes
A hundred years ago
We're a million miles of history
A-shinin' in the sun
We're the Union Pacific
And our story's just begun...
From the Great Plains of Nebraska
To the California seas
From the summits of the Rockies
To the mighty redwood trees
We're a thousand wheels of freight train
Hear the diesel engines power
We're the Union Pacific
Doin' ninety miles an hour
Bound from Omaha to Portland
Through Cheyenne and Laramie
We're a-headin' west for Boise
On the mainline to the sea
'cross the flats at Salt Lake City
On to Vegas and L.A
We're the Union Pacific
And we've got the right of way
From the green fields of the prairies
To the blue Pacific shores
We deliver your great cargo
And come rollin' home for more
On the backbone of our nation
You can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific
And we're gonna be on time
From the green fields of the prairies
To the blue Pacific shores
We deliver your great cargo
And come rollin' home for more
On the backbone of our nation
You can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific
And we're gonna be on time
One that ev'rybody knows
We were born of gold and silver spikes
A hundred years ago
We're a million miles of history
A-shinin' in the sun
We're the Union Pacific
And our story's just begun...
From the Great Plains of Nebraska
To the California seas
From the summits of the Rockies
To the mighty redwood trees
We're a thousand wheels of freight train
Hear the diesel engines power
We're the Union Pacific
Doin' ninety miles an hour
Bound from Omaha to Portland
Through Cheyenne and Laramie
We're a-headin' west for Boise
On the mainline to the sea
'cross the flats at Salt Lake City
On to Vegas and L.A
We're the Union Pacific
And we've got the right of way
From the green fields of the prairies
To the blue Pacific shores
We deliver your great cargo
And come rollin' home for more
On the backbone of our nation
You can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific
And we're gonna be on time
From the green fields of the prairies
To the blue Pacific shores
We deliver your great cargo
And come rollin' home for more
On the backbone of our nation
You can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific
And we're gonna be on time
