Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In 1910, I started to roam
Out in the west, no money, no home
And I went rolling along with the tide
Found myself on the great divide
[Chorus]
Railroading on the great divide
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
There you'll find me as years go by
Railroading on the great divide
[Verse 2]
Ask any old-timer from Old Cheyenne
Railroad in Wyoming's are the best in the land
The long steel rails, the short cross ties
All roll around in the great divide
[Chorus]
And that's railroading on the great divide
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
And that's where you'll find me as years go by
There'll you'll find me as the years go by
Railroading on the great divide
[Verse 3]
And I rumble and I ramble all over your land
From old California, to the New York island
And old Lamerie, she's a-glowin' with pride
She's a-rollin' on a mission on the great divide
[Chorus]
And that's railroading on the great divide
Nothing around me but Rockies and sky
There you'll find me as years go by
Railroading on the great divide
