Iron child out of Vulcan's forge, metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel, hear the pistons clash
Dragon breathing big black smoke, howling up the tracks

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now, like to see 'em try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver

Juggernaut coming´ down the line, hear the banshee cry
Engineer like to lose his mind. glory in his eye
Too fast to live this way, too young to die

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now, like to see 'em try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver

Hold tight, feel the drivers bite, hear the whistle moan
Engine rocking to the left and right, vibrating in my bones
Once the locomotive steals your soul, you got a Casey Jones

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now, like to see 'em try
Hey, hey, ridin' with the driver

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the Devil's eye
No force on earth can hurt me now, kiss your *** goodbye
My, my, ridin' with the driver
