Ride in the desert, see the sun on the horizon
Smoking chimney head, pistons rumbling in the silence
On the rails it’s running, iron horses for the travel
On the seat you can feel, rails going fast on the wheels
Train whistles on the bridge, railroad sign is appear
Fifteen miles to go, the next town now is near
Leaving the tunnel, railways shaking and smoke rising
Slowing down in the station when the stop bells are ringing
Fancy Hoppers Railways and you sure reach the top
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ride in the desert, see the sun on the horizon
Smoking chimney head, pistons rumbling in the silence
On the rails it’s running, iron horses for the travel
Running in the desert, impressive with no fear
All the ladies are waiting on the platform drinking beer
Dancing in the moonlight the next day it’s near
Leaving the tunnel, railways shaking and smoke rising
Slowing down in the station when the stop bells are ringing
Fancy Hoppers Railways and you sure reach the top
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
