Starlight On The Rails

verse 1 I can hear the whistle blowing High and lonesome as can be Tonight the rain is softly falling And its falling just for me Looking back along the road I've traveled The miles could tell a million tales Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, Is cold as starlight on the rails verse 2 I think about my home and family My house and all the things it means The black smoke trailing out behind me Is like a string of broken dreams Looking back along the road I've traveled The miles could tell a million tales Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, Is cold as starlight on the rails Instrumental verse 3 Now if you live out on the highway You're like some clock that can't tell time And if you spend your life just rambling Your like a song without a rhyme Looking back along the road I've traveled The miles could tell a million tales Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, Is cold, cold as starlight on the rails
