C.W. McCall — Great Big Rollin Railroad

We're a great big rollin' railroad One that ev'rybody knows We were born of gold and silver spikes A hundred years ago We're a million miles of history A-shinin' in the sun We're the Union Pacific And our story's just begun... From the Great Plains of Nebraska To the California seas From the summits of the Rockies To the mighty redwood trees We're a thousand wheels of freight train Hear the diesel engines power We're the Union Pacific Doin' ninety miles an hour Bound from Omaha to Portland Through Cheyenne and Laramie We're a-headin' west for Boise On the mainline to the sea 'cross the flats at Salt Lake City On to Vegas and L.A We're the Union Pacific And we've got the right of way From the green fields of the prairies To the blue Pacific shores We deliver your great cargo And come rollin' home for more On the backbone of our nation You can see us make the climb We're the Union Pacific And we're gonna be on time From the green fields of the prairies To the blue Pacific shores We deliver your great cargo And come rollin' home for more On the backbone of our nation You can see us make the climb We're the Union Pacific And we're gonna be on time
