empire builder lyrics

Empire, empire
Build it higher and higher
He's coming for booty
On a black-eyed horse, he'll ride it up the wall

They're gonna set you up pretty, Geronimo
They'll stick you coal-washing
At the cigar store for some firewater
Well, happy thanksgiving

You know, they're coming from burgeon
And chippin' in west
You know their burghers really are the best
The king of burgher

Yeah, they got your empire east
You'll probably ask of it
Opportunity's knocking
Your empire's building

And you're ready to call it a day
But the wheel's already in motion
Well, on the train of tomorrow
Get out of the way, empire builder

Well you've got to hit the road
Pretty mama's boy like an empire builder
Well, you've got to say goodbye to your mama
Like an empire builder

Peacemaker
Tree baker
Salt shaker
Earth quaker
Side shafter
King maker
