Intro
A#m C#
I wanna share a tale with you about the 'merican dream
F#M7 A#m
When all the railroads ran on time and our nation ran on steam
A#m C#
Behind the tracks and railroad tyres a hero took command
G#7 F A#m
Of connecting every town, he was called... The railroad man...
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
Railroad man, can you take me to San Fran
D# A#m
Can you take me down to Tennessee, across the Rio Grande
A#m C#
Can you take me up Mount Everest and into Disneyland
G#7 F A#m
Can you get me there on time, oh can you do it? Railroad man... (Railroad man, railroad man)
> Uhh, guys?
> - Sorry, that song's just too damn catchy
> Now you're probably wondering why they called him the railroad man
> - I think you explained it pretty well
> Well, I'm gonna tell you why!
[Verse]
A#m C#
They called him that because he built the railroads and was male
F#M7 A#m
And they called them railroads 'cause they were like roads, except with rails.
Cool, uhh... thanks for clarifying
A#m C#
His eyes, they say, were made of coal; his toes were railroad spikes,
F#M7 A#m
His trains had seven stars on Yelp and a billion Facebook likes.
> That's right... a billion.
> - What happened next?
> Shut up kid! I'm the one singing!
> - I wasn't singi..
[Verse]
A#m C#
He built up the tracks, you see; hooked up the USA.
F#M7 A#m
And he could have kept on going, if not for that fateful day.
A#m C#
These two weird fellas came to town and invented human flight,
G#7 F A#m
They called their ship an 'aeroplane' and themselves... the brothers Wright. (brothers Wright)
A#m C#
They said: Our planes can transfer man without the need for rail
F#M7 A#m
Your industry is dying and your dream's going to fail.
A#m C#
So pull up your slacks and pack your tracks and get on out of town;
G#7 A#m
We don't need steam or steel beams to get ourselves around."
> Railroad Man was none too pleased about that. He said:
[Verse]
A#m C#
Two Wrights don't make a right, and dang if that ain't wrong!
F#M7 A#m
Hey that lyric ain't half-bad, I hope it ends up in a song.
A#m C#
If God intended man to fly, we'd be born in a flock;
F#M7 A#m
Those Wright Brothers and their flight machine can go and suck a cock!
A#m C#
Those Wright Brothers can sniff my biff, they can give my ass a smell;
G#7 F A#m
They can lick my shaft from fore to aft and their plane... can burn in hell.
> Excuse the language folks but that's what the Railroad Man said. His fucking words.
[Verse]
A#m C#
The Wright Brothers they challenged him; they said, "You think you're great?
F#M7 A#m
Can your steam trains do a loop-de-loop without losing their freight?
A#m C#
And if you do it we'll leave town and we won't ever come back;
G#7 A#m
But if you fail you can take your rail and shove it up your crack!"
> Naww, the hell with you Wright Brothers, the sky's for birds!
> -And the ground's for turds, and you sir are the latter word.
[Chorus]
A#m Fm
Railroad man! Can you rise to their demand?
D# A#m
Can your trains do a loop-de-loop, can they do it all on land?
F#M7 C#
Wilbur's talking smack about your track, Orville's railing on your rails;
G#7 F A#m
Can you beat their ass with steam and brass, and eight-inch steel nails? The Railroad man.
> Say, that was a pretty good train-sition! Huh, anyway...
[Verse]
A#m C#
The Railroad Man he spent a month looping up his track,
F#M7 A#m
Then he gathered up the townsfolk and he told 'em to stand back.
A#m C#
The train had started chugging, and the loop-de-loop drew near,
G#7 A#m
The train it was America, its freight our hopes and fears.
A#m C#
Everyone watched in silence, you could hear a needle drop;
F#M7 A#m
The train it went straight up the loop and right on to the top...
[Bridge]
A#m C#
The Railroad Man was finished, he knew he'd had his run,
F#M7 F A#m
The airplane beat him fair and square, and the railroad days were done.
[Verse]
A#m C#
But before he died he wrote a note for anyone that flies;
F#M7 A#m
He wrote it all in railroad, so he could read it from the sky.
A#m C#
So take a look there down below, written in the land,
G#7 F A#m
You'll see the final dying words of... the Railroad Man! (The Railroad Man!)
A#m
The Railroad Man! (The Railroad Man!) The Railroad Man!
> Damn you Wright Brothers!
