Lyrics
"[Verse 1]
Summer heat on Main Street,
Paint peelin’ in the sun.
Kids on bikes by the feed store,
Waiting on that engine to run.
[Verse 2]
Old hands on folding chairs,
Talk low about the past.
When the tracks cut through these fields,
Flags flyin’ on their mast.
[Chorus]
Big Boy roll on by,
Visit this town for a while.
We were small but we were proud.
Under that summer sun,
Big Boy roll on by.
[Verse 3]
On that day the town leaned in close,
Like a door left open wide.
America’s two-hundred and fiftieth,
Our hearts took a ride.
[Chorus]
Big Boy roll on by,
Visit this town for a while.
We were small but we were proud.
Under that summer sun,
Big Boy roll on by.
[Verse 4]
The time came and we gathered,
Where time stood still.
By the crossing gate,
With our heads held high.
That mighty train,
Rolled on by.
[Verse 5]
Forty fourteen only stayed a little while,
But that feeling will remain.
A little light in the window,
Continental hope,
Riding on those rails.
[Chorus]
Big Boy roll on by,
Visit this town for a while.
We were small but we were proud.
Under that summer sun,
Big Boy roll on by."
