Kurth & Taylor Heartland Train
(Randy Handley/Jack Sundrud) I remember my first ride All aboard the eight-o-five Ran from Dixie to Moline Stopped about a hundred times between Safe between my ma and pa I saw boom-town America Sailin' over waves of grain Gone the way of the Heartland Train Chorus: H-o-o-o wa-a-h On an iron horse to glory I did ride H-o-o-o wa-a-h When it felt like there was no end of the line Holdin' on into the night I counted every backwoods light Lonesome whistle singin' sweet Rhythm of the rails rock me to slee-eep I dreamed I'd be the engineer Steamin' through a new frontier Boys will grow and dreams will fade Gone the way of the Heartland Train Chorus Now all the farms amd old downtowns Are boarded up or all torn down Beaten by the winds of change Gone the way of the Heartland Train Yes, and... Chorus X 2
