On beams of steel we reach
across this land
How I bless each and every span
A boxcar bomb or a billionaire
On beams of steel
your world is anywhere
On beams of steel souls would sweat and strain
Laying rail through snows and sand and rain
Today I say a grateful prayer
On beams of steel their memories still shine there
We go around the nation
by road,
sky or sail
But we're on a strong foundation
For when we ride that iron trail On beams
of steel my dreams can now come true
Now come true
Cause these wheels I'm on will bring me back to you
Back to you
And no price is too high a bale
On beams of steel
that lead to hearts that care
On
beams of steel
that lead to hearts that care
We go around the nation by road,
sky or sail But we're on a strong
foundation For when we ride that iron trail
On beams of steel we reach across this
land How I bless each and every span
And no price is too high a bale On beams
of steel that lead to hearts that care
On beams of steel that lead to hearts that care
