Starlight On the Rails

   D                   A7
I can hear the whistle blowing
                       D
High and lonesome as can be
     G                     D               
Outside the rain is softly falling
   A7                       D
Tonight its falling just for me

            A7                        D
  Looking back along the road I've traveled
        A7                     D
  The miles can tell a million tales
                G                  D
  Each year is like some rolling freight train
      A7                        D
  And cold as starlight on the rails

I think about a wife and family
My home and all the things it means
The black smoke trailing out  behind me
Is like a string of broken dreams

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
