Iron child out of Vulcans forge, metal scream and thrash
Red steel in the driving wheel, hear the pistons clash
Dragon breathin' big black smoke, howlin' up the tracks
 [bad word] 
I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can stop me now
Like to see 'em try
Hey, hey ridin' with the Driver
 [bad word]  down the line, hear the banshee cry
Engineer like to lose his mind. glory in his eye
Too fast to live this way, too young to die

[Repeat [bad word] 

Hold tight, feel the drivers bite, hear the whistle moan
Engine rockin' to the left and right, vibratin' in my bones
Once the [bad word] steals your soul, you got a Casey Jones
 [bad word] 

I'm ridin' on the Thunderchief, spit in the devil's eye
No force on earth can hurt me now, kiss your [bad word] goodbye
My my, ridin' with the Driver
