The Tehachapi Loop (Acoustic)

You go up and up
And up and up
Leaving Bakersfield
Honky-tonked enough
Chugga Chug Chug
Keep on climbing up
Need a roundabout
To crest this bluff

If your train is more than 40 feet
Your tail might be the next thing you meet
Nearly 40 trains a day
From Bakersfield to Mojave

You know you're halfway through your route
When you're goin round the Tehachapi Loop
Good thing William Hood understood
To scale that mountain you need the Tehachapi Loop

You go down and down
And down and down
Into Bakersfield
Country girls abound
Steel on steel
Them wheels squeal
Roadmaster's hand
Knows a steady feel

You can hear it's call to forewarn
That's the sound of the Union Pacific horn
From the Mojave desert where the condor roams
After we turn the loop we're nearly home

You know you're halfway through your route
When you're goin round the Tehachapi Loop
Good thing William Hood understood
To scale that mountain you need the Tehachapi Loop
