Name: Steam Driven
Duration: P00H01M29S
Description: Notes: On a yearly basis I attend the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion, a collection of turn of the 20th century steam engines. One old engine had a consistent and intoxicating beat. I made a recording on my phone, transferred it to my computer, clipped it, and added instruments to it. It was coal-smoke spitting, fire and brimstone metal.

lyrics

Steam Driven

Pistons pumping,
Water boiling,
Then it turns to steam.
Old school,
Heavy metal,
You’re the American dream.

(chorus) X2
You’re a thresher,
Under pressure,
Now you’re just steam driven.
(chorus)

Don’t need a dinosaur,
To hear you roar,
Just look to the cloud of smoke.
Just turn the key,
They’ll soon see,
You start best with a little choke.

(Chorus)

You got the drive,
Mechanics in line,
The heat is coming on.
How you work the best,
Running on track,
This is how you get the job done.

(Chorus)

Steam Driven
