paroles de chanson Streamlined Cannonball - Roy Acuff

A long steel rail, a short crosstie
I′m on my way back home
I'm on the train, the king of them all
The Streamlined Cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star on its heavenly flight
This lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night

Her headlight gleams out into the night
Her firebox flash you see
The blinds I ride and the lights I love
It′s home sweet home to me

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star on its heavenly flight
This lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night

I can see the smile of an engineer
Although he's old and gray
A contented heart he awaits back home
Of the Streamlined Cannonball

She moves along like a cannonball
Like a star on its heavenly flight
This lonesome sound of the whistle you love
As she travels through the night
