On a grey-hound 30         Miles beyond      James town,
He saw the sunset on the      Tennessee        Line
Looked at the young man who was  Riding       be - Side him,
He said I'm old kinda       Worn  out     in -Side
I worked my whole life in the   Steel mills near    Gary
And my father before me I     Helped build this    Land
Now I'm 77 and with        God as my        Witness I
Earned every dollar that      Passed through my    Hands.

He said son it sounds like     Rattl-ing old    Bones
This highway is long but I     Know some that are Longer
By sun up to-mor-row I      Guess I'll be    Home
Through the hill of Kentucky   'Cross the ohio   River

Said an honest man's pllow is   His peace of    Mind this
