Grand Funk Railroad

Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad toured constantly to packed arenas worldwide. A popular take on the band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan. more »

Up each morning at five o'clock,
Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card.
Workin' on the railroad.

Chorus
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back,
Workin' on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin' on the railroad.
I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin' on the railroad.
And with God we've been working, all hand in hand.
Workin' on the railroad.

Chorus

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Workin' on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Workin' on the railroad.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

    I played in a three piece group called trinity part of the Alex Phillips Madonna Kotahitanga society back in 1971 playing Closer to home, hooked on love and In need. These guys were our Icons at the time, using a White Bone Thrash metal style of music with meaningful lyrics I hear Mark Farner is a Christian and this gives me greater affinity with him in christ. I liked the bassists funky base runs and our drummer Richie Wilson wore a possum hat with plastic piping for drumsticks. We had our own psychedelic lights and a beautiful halfcaste maori girl dressed in white was our resident go go dancer. I am now a professional Activivit counseller and social worker operating Family Four Justice news. Sometimes as visionaries we seem to pay dearly with broken contracts and loss of material values i am sure these 70s icons know what i am saying destiny, providence and Gods purpose for our lives takes us down some unusual roads as the Grandfunk song ses down my country road. The Love of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
