Key:
D A I can hear the whistle blowingA D High and lonesome as can beG D Tonight the rain is softly fallingA A7 D And its falling just for me [Chorus]A Looking back along the road I'veD traveledA D The miles could tell a million talesD G Each year Lord, like some rollingD freight train,A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the railsContinues after the ad[Verse 2]D A I think about my home and familyA D My house and all the things it meansG D The black smoke trailing out behind meA A7 D Is like a string of broken dreams [Chorus]A Looking back along the road I'veD traveledA D The miles could tell a million talesD G Each year Lord, like some rollingD freight train,A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the rails [Verse 3]D A Now if you live out on the highwayA You're like some clock that can'tD tell timeG And if you spend your life justA ramblingA A7 D You're like a song without a rhyme [Chorus]A Looking back along the road I'veD traveledA D The miles could tell a million talesD G Each year Lord, like some rollingD freight train,A A7 D Is cold as starlight on the rails
