You got to give me gasoline baby, or my engine won't go
You got to give me enough oil, or my motor be runnin' slow
And when you get me movin' and that big hill's gettin' nearer and nearer and nearer
You got to let me out easy
I said, watch you don't strip all my gears, oh
We got to keep this train a-rollin'
We got to keep this train a-rollin'

You got to check my fuel pump, or my gasoline won't flow
You got to check my tires too
Or this train, it just ain't gonna go
You know I come a thousand miles
And my battery's runnin' down low
I said I need a lotta lovin' baby
To get me back on the road

We got to keep this train a-rollin'
We got to keep this train rollin' oh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
We got to keep this train a-rollin'
We got to keep this train a-rollin'

We got to keep this train a-rollin'
Down the line

We got to keep this train a-rollin'
We got to keep this train a-rollin'
Ow, keep it rollin' down, down, down the line
