Starlight On The Rails Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

I can hear the whistle blowin' I am lonesome as can be 

Tonight the rain is saftly fallin' and it's fallin' just for me 

Looking back along the road I travel the miles could tell a million tales 

Each year is like some rolling freight train cold as starlight on the rails 

[ harmonica ] 

A man who lives out on the highway he's like a flock that can't tell time 

A man who spends his life just rambling is like a song without a rhyme 

I think about my home and family my house and all the things that mean 

The black smoke trailin' out behind me is like a string of broken dreams 

Looking back along....
