STARLIGHT ON THE RAILS Copyright 1973, 2000 Bruce Phillips Rosalie Sorrels has good rendition also in Key of G Stranger of Another Country Album Starlight On the Rails, A Song Book (Album) Banjo Tuned E, Play Key D 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
