She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
She was a princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
Spitting sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
lron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears
She was a princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky
She was a princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Screaming down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one
day
She was a princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the
Sky
Sky
Sky
