Raising Steam Lyrics - Crest Of A Knave - Jethro Tull

Over high plains, through the snow 

Roll those tracks out, don't you know, I'm raising steam 

Thin vein creeping, hot blood flow 

Spill a little where the new towns grow 

I got my whole life hanging in a sack 

Heading out into that wide world wide 

You got your locomotive sitting on your track 

And I don't care which way I ride 

I may not be coming back 

Left a lady with a heart 

All in pieces come apart, raising steam 

That engine up front 

Must have a heart big enough for the both of us

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Riding shotgun on the sunset, stare it in the eye 

Rocking on my heels out to the west 

Funny how the whole world, historically 

Feels the urge to chase the sun to rest 

We may not be coming back 

Let me be your engineer 

Have you smiling ear to ear, raising steam 

And will you tell me how it feels 

When you're up and rolling on your driving wheels? 

I got my whole life hanging in a sack 

Heading out into that wide world wide 

I'll be your locomotive blowing off its stack 

And I don't care which way I ride 

I may not be coming back

Raising steam, raising steam 

Raising steam, I'm raising steam 

Raising steam, raising steam 

Raising steam, raising steam
