1.I'll swing the hammer
2. Empire builder brings me home.
Verse
All day every day, I swing the hammer to the metal on the northern railway.
(fill 1)
Always a movie playing in my head.
D7 G (fill 12)
A million movie stars and you me
Moonshine every night
D7 G (fill 1)
Eating supper by the fire out in the clear moonlight
Ankles crossed, hands behind my head
Telling stories, singing songs about the west
