the tarriers – rock island line lyrics
[verse 1]
well, it’s cloudy in the east, and it looks like rain
and i bought me a ticket for a railroad train
pile on that water, shovel in the coal
stick your head out the window, watch the rock island roll, roll
[chorus]
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
rock island line, it is the road to ride
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you’re flyin’
and get your ticket at the station for the rock island line
[verse 2]
now, the 7:45 was always late
it arrived tonight about a quarter to eight
the conductor hollered as they cheered his name
“we’re right on time but this is yesterday’s train”
[chorus]
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
rock island line, it is the road to ride
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you’re flyin’
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line
[verse 3]
now, the engineer said, “before i die
it’s just two drinks that i’ve got to try”
the conductor hollered, “hey! what can they be?”
“a cold hot chocolate and a warm ice tea”
[chorus]
oh, the rock island line, it is a mighty good road
rock island line, it is the road to ride
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you’re flyin’
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line
[verse 4]
now, the eastbound train is on the westbound track
the westbound track was on the eastbound track
the conductor hollered, “ain’t that fine?
what a heck of a way to run a railroad line”
[chorus]
oh, the rock island line, it is a mighty good road
rock island line, it is the road to ride
rock island line, it is a mighty good road
well, if you want to ride, you gotta ride it like you’re flyin’
get your ticket at the station for the rock island line
