Lyrics

Sitting on the top of the roof

The bridge is all mine

Steam engines roll by

The bridges fall down

And so do my dreams

Boy, you hear me calling your name

The bridge is your time

Your engine rolls hot

If the bridges fall down

Don't lose your head of steam

Young man

I'm counting on you

And whoa-oh, young man

I'm counting on you

Boy, I didn't make it too far

But baby you are

The family star

I'll tighten your seams

Don't lose your head of dreams

Boy, you hear me calling your name

The bridge is your time

Your engine rolls hot

If the bridges fall down

Don't lose your head of steam

Young man, I'm counting on you

And whoa-oh, young man

I'm counting on you

To get me to the other side

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hm-hm

This foot-pound pressure is new

Whatever you do

Is up to you

But do me this do

Don't lose your head of dreams

Young man

I'm counting on you

And whoa-oh, young man

I'm counting on you

Young man

I'm counting on you

And whoa-oh, young man

I'm counting on you

And whoa-oh, young man

You are now the man

Whoa-oh-whoa-oh, young man

I'mma countin on you, hey, hey, hey

You are now the man

Can you get me to the other side?

Can you get me to the other side?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, huh-huh, huh-huh

Hey, hey, huh-huh, hey, hey, hey

Hm-hm

Don't lose your head of steam

Don't lose your head of steam...
