Empire Builder

All day, everyday

I swing my hammer to the metal

On the Northern railway

Always a movie playing in my head

A million movies starring you and meMoonshine every night

Eating supper by the fire, out in the clear moonlight

Ankles crossed, hands behind my head

Telling stories, singing songs about the WestI'm always thinking of you

Staring off down the railroad line

One sweet day I will see you

But I'll swing the hammer until

The empire builder brings me homeFor two months and two odd weeks

Sometimes days go by in which nobody speaks

From Illinois to Washington

There ain't nothing but the hammer to the railOne day when this track runs through

I'm gonna buy a new suit and come looking for you

And carefree, you and me

We'll take the empire builder to the seaAnd I'm always thinking of you

Staring off down the railroad line

One sweet day I will see you

But I'll swing the hammer until

The empire builder brings me home
