[Verse 1]
In the heat of the day down in Mobile, Alabama
I've been workin' on the railroad with a steel-drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted, Lord, sweatin' in the sun
Cussed out by the foreman 'til my work is all done (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' on that whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Drivin' in a Chevy 'til my foreman get back
Suddenly, I hear the brakeman up and shout
"There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out"
(Huh, ow)

[Verse 3]
Everybody jumpin' and a-screaming around
Tryin' to get a line to get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honky honk
He got a train you best let him roll on

[Chorus]
Let it rock
Ooh, let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Ooh, let it rock
Yeah, let it rock
Oh, all night long, yeah

Let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Let it rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock

Let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Oh, let it rock
Oh, all night long
Yeah
