They Say Iron Can't Breathe
Listen... 4014 Big Boy! Heartbeat on steel. You feel it before you see it Low rumble rising. Tracks start talking. Ground starts shaking. Time itself quaking. Then! Oh My! Steam in the sky, Black thunder whistles by. Not quiet. Not soft. Alive! Crowds lined the miles. Phones high. Big smiles. Old hands salute. Kids want a better view.. History does not stand still. He calls longloud loudlong touches hearts.coast to coast threading us together mile post by mile.post And when it’s gone Our questions answered Iron doesn’t breathe Unless it’s remembered.
