Song Lyrics

Rollin` out to Vegas
On an eastbound outta L.A.
I met a roughneck man who hailed from Alabama
His eyes had a lot to say
And his name was Rufus Champion

They call that train the desert wind
And it blew like a mutha that day
Thru the Joshua Trees
We were battin` the breeze
About our rock`n roll heros
Dead or alive

Chorus

Out across that night did we sail
Bone against steel against the rail
Boats against the stream
Cutting against the grain
Kept on rollin`
Bone against steel

As the moon rose in the window
Rufus began his tale
About an oil rig near the gulf coast
Puttin` man against metal
In a classic work-place accident
He told how the drill commenced to shakin`
The platform started to rock
The chain began breaking
They were straight out of luck
And then the sky kinda lite up
Just like a lightnin` bolt had struck

Chorus

Workmen`s compensation don`t compensate for much
With the doctors and lawyers and the IRS and such
You can break up the bone
But the spirit just won`t bust
When is bone against steel

With casino lights up a shimmering
We made that Vegas stop
And we laughed away our blues
Now here`s the good news
Rufus walks off heels a kickin`
With his baby right by his side
And as they waltzed on out of view
We were back up to speed
And clean outta sight

Double chorus
