Steam 'N' Steel

Dm7                       Dm7
I was born - age of steam and steel
F                             Bb                G (C)
Big locos had eight pair driving wheels
Dm7                       Dm7              
And they ran  sweet Kentucky coal
F                             Bb                Eb)                      
Shovel hard - faster you would roll
---------------------------

Flew left seat -Connie Super G
Yup, PIC – in 1953
Had four props, she’d fly good on three
High and safe over angry seas
---------------------------

Motorcy-Cle I called Black Bart
Built it up -- Hawg and Vincent parts
Monster mill - real hard to  kickstart
Not for weak Nor the faint of heart
---------------------------

And so now A new century
But I like the way things used to be
There was lead in gasoline
Rockets fueled by Hydrazine
---------------------------

No paddle shifts Just three on the tree
No cell nor text just dial rotary
Took pics on film that you would buy
No Photoshop to make them all lie.

REFRAIN

This is my anthem to ancient  gears          
                F                   Em        A

Lots of years blood sweat and tears
                  Bb        C

Cos the faster you go
                  G       

The more time slows
               A7      Dm7

Hey, Einstein said so
