Flatt And Scruggs Starlight On The Rails Lyrics

Starlight On The Rails Lyrics

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....
