Southern Pacific Songtext
von The Del-Lords

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

I rode the Highball
I fired the Daylight
When I turned sixty-five
I couldn′t see right


And it was Mr. Jones
We've got to let you go
It′s company policy
You've got a pension though

On your silver rails
On your silver rails
On your silver rails
In the moonlight

I put in my time
I put in my time
Down the long decline

I ain't no brake man
Ain′t no conductor
But I would be though
If I was younger


On your silver rails
On your silver rails
On your silver rails
In the moonlight
