charles j. adams iii - we rode on the reading lyrics

[chorus]
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again
we look back through the years to the days of way back when
we rode the mighty rails across the fields and ’round the bend
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[verse 1]
they tell me that the age of steam is dead and gone away
they say i’m living in the past but i don’t hear what they say
the chug+chug+chug and the toot+toot+toot seem like an old, old friend
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[bridge 1]
with a chug+chug+chug and a toot+toot+toot
we’ll head from reading town
we’ll ride the rails to pottsville
and then we’ll turn around

[verse 2]
from the coal mines and the factories, from the mountains to the sea
the reading lines extended in the 19th century
we’ll not forget the stories of steel rails and iron men
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[bridge 2]
the cars and the cabooses
are with us still today
so stoke that locomotive
and listen as we say
[chorus]
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again
we look back through the years to the days of way back when
we rode the mighty rails across the fields and ’round the bend
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[interlude]

[verse 3]
you can take your cars and buses, you can have your sst
the only way to fly, my friends, is on rails of history
if they said, “you can go to the moon,” i’ll say, “i’ll take the train”
’cause i rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[verse 4]
i’ve ridden on a horse’s back and i’ve sailed the seven seas
and both, i must admit, provided wondrous memories
but gosh, i just got seasick and that horse gave me a pain
’cause i rode on the reading when the reading rode again

[bridge 3]
the outer station, franklin station
and the shops at sixth and spring
the clackety+clack and the “all aboard!”
it is of those i sing
[chorus 2]
i rode on the reading when the reading rode again
i got a cinder in my eye but this i’ll say, my friend
her memory, i’ll treasure, and her glory, i’ll defend
’cause i rode on the reading when the reading rode again
we rode on the reading when the reading rode again
