V1.
Running all night long in the dog days of summer
Carrying freshly harvested wheat.
We’ll be up all night. Probably see daylight
Before we get the chance to sleep
Waxing moon lights the mainline
And fireworks explode in the sky.
Loving the sights wishing for a red light
So I could stop and close my eyes.
Chorus
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Today I’m hauling mail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Another weekend on the rail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Gonna make some kids day
Clickety clack down the railroad track
God Bless the engineer that honks and waves
V2.
Midnight call on a crisp day in the fall
Another Thanksgiving day alone.
So many missed holidays in this game we play
That keeps us far from home.
We’re sick and we’re tired but we gotta stay wired.
Looks like another brown bag meal.
They apologize nicely twice a month
For us facing these ordeals.
Chorus
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Today I’m hauling mail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Another weekend on the rail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Gonna make some kids day
Clickety clack down the railroad track
I’m the engineer that honks and waves
V3.
Into the winter’s snow we still had to go
The cold wind makes me shiver
Out my window a bald eagle dives for fish
As we glide along the river
Hauling Christmas toys For your girls and boys
I hope I see mine Christmas morn
It’s not the life for everyone
But for this I guess I was born
Chorus
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Today I’m hauling mail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Another weekend on the rail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Gonna make some kids day
Clickety clack down the railroad track
I’m the engineer that honks and waves
Bridge
God bless the engineer that waves
He surely just made some kids day today
Always looking to make a friend along the way
God bless the engineer that waves
Chorus
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Today I’m hauling mail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Another weekend on the rail
Clickety clack down the railroad track
Gonna make some kids day
Clickety clack down the railroad track
I’m the engineer that honks and waves
