Listen, he would say
Can you hear him son
Way off
Way off in the distance.
He's coming son
See he's getting louder
Listen carefully son
Pay attention and listen
That's America
That's life
Listen to that engine
Feel the power
That's America growing, powerful, and free
That's life. Growing, small at first, getting bigger
Soon he will be here
Listen son
Listen to that engine
Listen, listen, hear it roar
Listen to the compression building
Building power to slow his heavy load
Listen son
He's getting closer
Listen to the roar, feel the power of that engine
Look son
Up the road
Around the bend
Look son
There's his smoke
Over the hill
See son
there he is
His chrome stacks belching smoke
There he is
like a boy turning into a man
Getting bigger
getting stronger
Pump your fist son
Grab the air
Blow your horn
He will answer you
He will talk to you
Then he was Blasting by
the big engine roaring
the smoke blowing out of the chrome stacks
disappearing into the wind behind him
HONK -HONK -HONK
A wave
A smile
as he headed in the future
Watch son
He's getting smaller
listen son
It's hard to hear him
Listen and watch son
He's like a man
He reached his peak
He's getting smaller
Like a man drifting into eternity
Listen son
Here comes another one
Delivering America
Here comes hundreds
thousands
millions
they will always come
