G Em Down the mountainside, to the coastline C Em Past the angry tide, the mighty diesel whines. G Em And the tunnel comes, and the tunnel goes C Em Round another bend, the giant drivers roll. Roll on, Southern Pacific On your silver rails On your silver rails Roll on, Southern Pacific On your silver rails, through the moonlight I rode the Highball I fired the Daylight When I turned sixty-five I couldn't see right. It was Mr. Jones, We've got to let you go It's company policy You've got a pension though. Roll on, Southern Pacific On your silver rails, silver rails 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.
