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.
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails Through the moonlight. Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails On your silver rails
I rode the Highball I fired the Daylight When I turned sixty-five I couldn't see right. so It was Mr. Jones, We've got to let you go That's company policy You've got a pension though. Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails Through the moonlight. Roll on, Southern Pacific On your silver rails On your silver rails
I ain't no brake man Ain't no conductor
But I would be though If I was younger.
I got my gold watch, I put in my time
Now I'm left to roll Down the long decline.
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails On your silver rails Roll on, Southern Pacific
on your silver rails. Through the moonlight.
