The Rails

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hangin' out at Miller's trestle, listenin' for that distant whistle Waiting there, our ears pressed to the steel Two crazy kids with a one-track-mind, double darin' all the time To see who'd stand the closest to the wheels [Pre-Chorus 1] Once the train had rolled on by I'd walk the left, you'd walk the right Stretching out our arms, pretending to ride [Chorus] The rails, running forever side by side The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight [Post-Chorus 1] The rails [Verse 2] You went east and I went west, that's the way life goes I guess Before you know it, time just rolls on by Through all the twists and turns of fate A lot has changed but nothin' breaks Or even bends the strength of those old ties [Pre-Chorus 2] We're grown up now with kids and lives We do our jobs, we do what's right Ain't it funny how we turned out just like [Chorus] The rails, running forever side by side The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight [Post-Chorus 2] I'm still on the left, and you're still on the right [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Ohh, ohh, the rails, running forever side by side The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight [Post-Chorus] Ohh, the rails (woh oh oh, woh oh ohh, ohh) [Outro] Ohh, ohh, the rails (woh oh oh, woh oh ohh, ohh) Woh ohh, the rails, yeah
