Jethro Tull - Raising Steam Lyrics
Over high plains, through the snow...Roll those tracks out, dont you knowIm raising steam.Thin vein creeping; hot blood flow...Spill a little where the new towns grow.I got my whole life hanging in a sack,Heading out into that wide world wide.You got your locomotive sitting on your trackAnd I dont care which way I ride.I may not be coming back.Left a lady with a heartAll in pieces come apartRaising steam.That engine up front mustHave a heart big enough for the both of us.Riding shotgun on the sunset, stare it in the eye,Rocking on my heels out to the west.Funny how the whole world, historically,Feels the urge to chase the sun to rest.We may not be coming back.Let me be your engineer...Have you smiling ear to earRaising steam.And will you tell me how it feelsWhen youre up and rolling on your driving wheels?I got my whole life hanging in a sack,Heading out into that wide world wide.Ill be your locomotive blowing off its stackAnd I dont care which way I ride.I may not be coming back.Raising steam.
