Well, the first thing I remember was the smell of burnin' cinders
And the sound of that old whistle on the wind
I always wondered where the train was goin'
But I never cared at all where it had beenYeah, the first chance I got, I was gone like a shot
Followin' that old dream of mine
My only desire was to catch that flyer
And ride it to the end of the lineMy life is like a Dixie Flyer
She don't ever look back
So pour on the coal, let the good times roll
Till the train runs out of trackFull speed ahead, no, I ain't stoppin' yet
I feel that drivin' wheel down in my soul
I been some places where the train don't stop
Some places where the train don't even goYeah, some are satisfied just to sit on the side
And watch as the trains roll by
But that ain't me, there's just too much to see
Gonna roll until the day that I dieMy life is like a Dixie Flyer
She don't ever look back
So pour on the coal, let the good times roll
Till the train runs out of trackTill the train runs out of track
Yeah, till the train runs out of track
