Tons Of Steel lyrics
Song information
Artist: Grateful Dead Album: In The Dark
Lyrics
I know these rails we're on like I know my lady's smile We see a dozen dreams in every passing mile Can't begin to count the trips she and I have made But I wish I had a dollar for each time we've both been down this grade
900,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow 900,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
It's one hell of an understatement, to say she can get mean She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine She wasn't built to travel at the speed a rumor flies These wheels are bound to jump the tracks before they burn the ties
900,000 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow 900,000 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
Murphy sure out done himself to pick this stretch of track I can only hope my luck is ridin' in the back Well I have prayed to god this ain't the day we meet I've done 'bout everything but try dragging my feet
900,00 tons of steel, made to roll The brakes don't work and this grade's too steep, her engine's sure to blow 900,00 tons of steel, out of control She's more a rollercoaster than the train I used to know
Oh, oh I want to go down slow
