The RJ Corman Song
It was 1973, he had a single backhoe
RJ Corman decided to give it a go
He started his company in Nicholasville
That is where we are headquartered still
So many short lines and serve all major roads
Provide maintenance of way and we carry the load
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
Rick would tell you hard work leads to luck
After working on the railroad he spent the night in his truck
When he woke up to work again after night
He started replacing ballast and ties with all of his might
Got a bridge needs repair, call RJ
Fix whatever you need on the right of way
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
Rick started out from humble beginnings
And built his railroad from a thousand dollar's winnings
There he stood in his gray jumpsuit
Ready to fix track and take on any pursuit
How he could laugh, be a friend and inspire
And how his dreams built a railroad empire
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
RJ Corman decided to give it a go
He started his company in Nicholasville
That is where we are headquartered still
So many short lines and serve all major roads
Provide maintenance of way and we carry the load
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
Rick would tell you hard work leads to luck
After working on the railroad he spent the night in his truck
When he woke up to work again after night
He started replacing ballast and ties with all of his might
Got a bridge needs repair, call RJ
Fix whatever you need on the right of way
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
Rick started out from humble beginnings
And built his railroad from a thousand dollar's winnings
There he stood in his gray jumpsuit
Ready to fix track and take on any pursuit
How he could laugh, be a friend and inspire
And how his dreams built a railroad empire
1973, was just the start
RJ Corman's our name, on our trains, in our hearts
50 years gone by and still going strong
Every mile of the way, RJ, you are in our song
