LyricMeaning

Empire Builder
Mason Jennings

I swing my hammer to the metal on the northern railway


Always a movie playing in my head


A million movies starring you and me


Moonshine every night


Eating supper by the fire out in the clear moonlight


Ankles crossed, hands behind my head


Telling stories, singing songs about the west


I'm always thinking of you


Staring off down the railroad line


One sweet day i will see you


But i'll swing the hammer until


The empire builder brings me home


For two months and two odd weeks


Sometimes days go by in which nobody speaks


From illinois to washington


There ain't nothing but the hammer to the rail


One day when this track runs through


I'm gonna buy a new suit and come looking for you


Care free, you and me


We'll take the empire builder to the sea


And i'm always thinking of you


Staring off down the railroad line


One sweet day i will see you


But i'll swing the hammer until


The empire builder brings me home
