Starlight On The Rails

I can hear the whistle blowin'

High and lonesome as can be

Outside the rain is softly fallin'

Tonight it's fallin' just for me

Looking back along the road I've traveled

All the miles could tell a million tales

Each year is like some rolling freight train

And cold as starlight on the rails

I think about wife and family

A home and all the things it means

The black smoke trailin' out behind me

Is like a string of broken dreams

Looking back along the road I've traveled

All the miles could tell a million tales

Each year is like some rolling freight train

And cold as starlight on the rails

A man who lives out on the highway

Is like a clock that can't tell time

A man who spends his life just rambling

Is like a song without a rhyme

Looking back along the road I've traveled

All the miles could tell a million tales

Each year is like some rolling freight train

And cold as starlight on the rails
