    Verse 1
    It's 
    a long 
    steel 
    rail 
    and 
    a short 
    crosstie. 
    I'm 

    on 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    home. 
    I'm 
    on 
    that 
    train, 
    the king 
    of them 
    all. 

    That 
    streamlined 
    can
    non
    ball. 

    She 
    moves 
    along 
    like 
    a cannon 
    ball, 

    like 
    a star 
    in its 
    heavenly 
    flight. 

    The 
    lonesome 
    sound 
    of 
    the whistle 
    you 

    love 
    as 
    you 
    travel 
    through 
    the 
    night. 

    Let 
    me hear you, 

    boy. 

    Interlude 1

    Head
    light 
    beams 
    out 
    Verse 2
    through 
    the 
    night 

    And 
    the 
    fire
    bots 
    flash, 
    you can 
    see 

    I 
    ride 
    them 
    blinds, 

    it's 
    the life 
    that I 
    love 

    For it's 
    home, 
    sweet 
    home 
    to 
    me 

    Movin' 
    along 
    like 
    a 
    cannonball 

    Verse 3
    Like 
    a 
    in its 
    heavenly 
    flight 

    A 
    balsam 
    sound 
    with 
    a 
    Verse 4
    whistle 
    you 
    love 

    As 
    you 
    travel 
    through 
    Verse 5
    the 
    night 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6
    I 
    can 
    see 
    a 
    smile 
    on the 
    engineer's 
    face 

    And 
    although 
    he's 
    old 
    and 
    gray 

    In 
    his 
    heart 
    he 
    wait
    s for 
    his 
    call 

    On that 
    streamlined 
    can
    nonball 

    You 
    pick one 
    boy 

    Ah, 
    now that's 
    pretty 

    She 
    moves 
    along 
    like a 
    cannonball 

    Like 
    a star 
    in its 
    heavenly 
    flight 

    The 
    lone
    some 
    sound, 
    the 
    whistle 
    you 
    love 

    As 
    you travel 
    through 
    the 
    night

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
