Starlight on the Rails
I, can hear that whistle calling, High and lonesome as can be; Outside, the rain is softly falling; To-night, it's falling just for me
Chorus:
Looking back, a-long this road I've traveled; The miles could tell a million tales; Each year, is like some rolling freight train, And cold as starlight on the rails.
We'll miss the man but his songs and stories will go on.
