lyrics

There's a job that's too cruel
No kind heart could pick it
No, what kind of sadist could walk around punching train tickets?

And he knows he's a fool
For always departin'
And leavin' the best of his days
and his heart in the Hudson

How the steady men drool
'Cause he's always on track and on time
But the man who can't be stationary
Can't quiet the grind

Iron and Steel
Doesn't it feel cold
To call "All Aboard?"

There were dozens of days
He could have turned the train around for love
Men with their homes in their shoes
He could of let ride

Iron and Steel
Doesn't it feel cold
To call "All Aboard?"

Iron and Steel

There were dozens of days
There were dozens of days
There were dozens of days
He could have turned the train around
for love
