Ribbons Of Steel*
©2005,Chuk MacDonald

 1st verse

 I was sittin' on a siding

 Wishin' I was riding

 To "Somewhere I'd Like To Go"

 When you pulled into the station

 Caused such a sensation

 I heard whistles blow.

 ---Rise---

   I was coated in Black Diamond dust

   All my dreams had turned to rust

   But when I saw you,

   In my heart I knew

   Love was meant for the two of us.

 
 2nd verse

 We made a real connection

 Took the same direction

 And we never did look back.

 And the days grew so sweet

 The puzzle more complete

 With every milestone we passed.

 ---Rise---

   Blue skies or stormy grey,

   Flatlands or mountain grade

   With your hand in mine

   We pulled through every time

   There was a hard road to face.
   To Chorus
3rd verse

 And love was there to bind us

 To hold us and guide us

 Just like them creosote ties

 Take the burden from the load

 'Neath this o'l railroad,

 Rock steady....every time.

 ---Rise---

   And when the writing is on the wall

   And I face that Last Whistle Call

   I will smile when I look back

   'Cause you kept me on track

   Earth to Heaven, after all.
   To Chorus
 Chorus

 Ribbons of Steel....

 Ribbons of Steel

 Our love's grown stronger

 Than those Ribbons of Steel. Oh ya!

 Ribbons of Steel.....

 Ribbons of Steel

 Our love will go on longer

 Than those Ribbons of Steel.
