Silver Rails Songtext
von Hank Snow

I′m free as a man can be, this is the life for me
Go when I want, do or I don't, no worries and troubles for me
A newspaper for my bed, no naggin′ woman bangin' my head
I'm free as the breeze and I go when I please
Silver rails keep me free, silver rails keep me free


When I find a place I don′t like
When I find that things ain′t right
An old freight train will be waiting to set me free
Silver rails keep me free, silver rails keep me free

I follow that old sunshine, ain't nothing I′ve left behind
I'm walking it slow, always ready to go, I don′t get far from that line
At night, I get my sleep, with that old box I'll ever need
I hear the whistle call, and it′s goodbye to you all
Silver rails keep me free, silver rails keep me free

When I find a place I don't like
When I find that things ain't right
An old freight train will be waiting to set me free
Silver rails keep me free, silver rails keep me free
