Artist: Kinky Friedman Album: Sold American
Lyrics
(Kinky friedman, roger friedman)
And i'd ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line Railroad ties are not my friend the only ties that bind Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away Silver eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today
Lose the track of time and let it flow back Stoke the ancient furnace into flames Running barefoot in the cinders of the mopac Hoppin' bedtime rides with the outlaw jesse james
But now my heart's a worn and weary vessel I been haulin' dreams that never seem to last Once I slept beside a trembling trestle Woke up lost across the rusty lifelines to the past
And i'd ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line Railroad ties are not my friend the only ties that bind Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away Silver eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today
Freedom's only station to station A paper suitcase on the track of time Ain't hard to tell a hard luck situation Ain't hard to tell a homeless country poet out of rhyme
I'm gonna ride the silver eagle to the last town on the line There's nothing to remember if there's nothing to remind From the gentle texas sunshine to the colorado snow Ain't no one here to hold you, boy, when the good lord lets you go
