I can hear the whistle blowing

High and lonesome as can be

Tonight the rain is softly falling

The miles could tell a million tales

Is cold as starlight on the rails

My house and all the things it means

The black smoke trailing out behind me

Now if you live out on the highway

You're like some clock that can't tell time
