Oil Train

Trains are rolling like they did yesterday / Loading up and hauling black gold
Hauling crude to Cushing from North Dakota state / Gotta get the barrels sold
They’re loading up and hauling black gold

With water, sand, and pressure oil rises to the top / Loading up and hauling black gold
Keep the pumps a pumpin’, oil trains can never stop / Gotta get the barrels sold
They’re loading up and hauling black gold

John Henry swung his hammer and Casey Jones drove it hard / Across the wood and steel road
Jimmy Rodgers singin’ in the 33rd car/ He’s belting out every note
Across the wood and steel road

Big wheels are rolling but the train’s never slowing down / at the train station no more
If you ride it, gotta ride it like you find it / and you can’t find it anymore

Now Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse must’ve seen this comin’ / Loading up and laying low
When they fended off Custer and heard the distant engines thumpin’ / Coming for their very souls
They’re loading up and laying low

We’ve got EV trucks self driving cars / Teslas burning up the road
Space X and Musk are colonizing Mars / Up and away they go
But not without oil you know

Big wheels are rolling but the train’s never slowing down / at the train station no more
If you ride it, gotta ride it like you find it/and you can’t find it anymore
