Lyrics
Verse 1
When I was a boy my Daddy would say
Son grab your overalls, you're riding with me today
Say goodbye to little sis, and goodbye to your Momma
Then climb on up and sit wherever you wanna
Looking good, wearing Daddy's engineer's hat
Life was good, and even when I didn't know where we were at, I'd say
Chorus
Come on Choo Choo won't you take me away
Shoot me like a rocket down the rail I pray
Prep my chariot up for battle
Gonna rattle all the cattle from Maine to Seattle
Verse 2
When I went to school my teacher would say
Boy don't you want to be a fireman someday
My friends called me crazy when I said oh no
When I grow up hey I'm going Loco
Looking good, riding in an engineer's hat
Life'll be good, it ain't gonna matter just where I'm at, I'll say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
When Daddy died he left that train to me
And I know how I can make him proud 'cause I'm the son of a legacy
Verse 3
So if you're at home and you're eating supper
And your house starts shaking from lower to upper
Better run for your life yeah and look out for us
'Cause I'm coming through your town on my "Trackasaurus"
Looking good, driving in my engineer's hat
Where life is good, and brother let me tell you this is right where it's at
Repeat Chorus
