[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.

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.

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,
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.
