Neil Young & Crazy Horse — Southern Pacific

[Verse 1] Down the mountainside To the coastline Past the angry tide The mighty diesel whines [Verse 2] And the tunnel comes And the tunnel goes Round another bend The giant drivers roll [Verse 3] I rode the highball I fired the Daylight When I turned sixty-five I couldn't see right [Verse 4] It was "Mr. Jones We've gotta 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 [Bridge] I put in my time I put in my time Now I'm left to roll Down the long decline [Verse 5] 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
