Starlight On The Rails

D A I can hear the whistle blowing A D High and lonesome as can be G D Tonight the rain is softly falling A A7 D And its falling just for me A D Looking back along the road I've traveled A D The miles could tell a million tales D G D Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the rails D A I think about my home and family A D My house and all the things it means G D The black smoke trailing out behind me A A7 D Is like a string of broken dreams A D Looking back along the road I've traveled A D The miles could tell a million tales D G D Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the rails D A Now if you live out on the highway A D You're like some clock that can't tell time G A And if you spend your life just rambling A A7 D You're like a song without a rhyme A D Looking back along the road I've traveled A D The miles could tell a million tales D G D Each year Lord, like some rolling freight train, A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the rails
