[Verse 1]

C G7
I can hear the whistle blowing,

G7 C
High and lonesome as can be, Out-

F
side the rain is softly

C
falling, To-

G7 C
night it's falling just for me.

[Chorus]

C G7 C
Looking back along the road I've travelled,

G7 C
The miles can tell a million tales.

C F C
Each year is like some rolling freight train,

G7 C
And cold as starlight on the rails.

[Verse 2]

C G7
I think about a wife and family,

G7 C
My home and all the things it means;

F
The black smoke trailing out be-

C
hind me, Is

G7 C
like a string of broken dreams

[Chorus]

C G7 C
Looking back along the road I've travelled,

G7 C
The miles can tell a million tales.

C F C
Each year is like some rolling freight train,

G7 C
And cold as starlight on the rails.

[Verse 3]

C G7
A man who lives out on the highway

G7 C
Is like a clock that can't tell time;

F
A man who spends his life just

C
ramblin', Is

G7 C
like a song without a rhyme.

[Chorus]

C G7 C
Looking back along the road I've travelled,
