lyrics

Rolling across the prairies, and I’m crying out a tune
Rolling across the prairies, and I’m howling at the moon
I had to leave my home back east, I just couldn’t hang around
Now I’m rolling across the open plains on a CNR westbound

Rolling across the prairies, and I’m moaning out the blues
Rolling across the prairies, under sky-blue prairie hues
I had to leave my home back east, even though I love that town
Now I’m rolling across the open plains on a CNR westbound

Rolling across the prairies, and this train is singing too
Rolling across the prairies, hear the whining woo-hoo-hoo
I had it all at home back east, but things were looking down
Now I’m rolling across the open plains on a CNR westbound

Rolling across the prairies, hear the clicking of the rails
Rolling across the prairies, as the locomotive wails
I’m sad to leave my home back east, but I love these lonesome sounds
Now I’m rolling across the open plains on a CNR westbound

Rolling across the prairies, and those steel wheels start to roar
Rolling across the prairies, as they stand up to the chore
I’m glad I left my home back east, ‘cause now my rhythm has been found
‘Cause I’m rolling across the open plains on a CNR westbound
