Intro

Verse 1
Down the mountainside, to the coastline
Past the angry tide, the mighty diesel whines
And the tunnel comes, and the tunnel goes
'Round another bend, the giant drivers roll
Verse 2
I rode the Highball, I fired the Daylight
When I turned around sixty-five, I couldn't see right
It was "Mister Jones, we've got to let you go"
"It's company policy, you've got a pension though"
Chorus
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, through the moonlight
Break
| Em | Em | Em | Em |

Verse 3
I put in my time, I put in my time
Now I'm left to roll, down the long decline
I ain't no brake man, ain't no conductor
But I would be though, if I was younger
Chorus
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
Roll on, Southern Pacific
Roll on, on your silver rails
