Silver Eagle Express Lyrics - Sold American-30th Anniversary - Kinky Friedman

And I?d ride the Silver Eagle to the last town on the line 

Railroad ties are not my friend, the only ties that bind 

Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away 

Silver Eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today 

Lose the track of time and let it flow back 

Stoke the ancient furnace into flames 

Running barefoot in the cinders of the Mopac 

Hopping bedtime rides with the outlaw, Jesse James 

But now my heart?s a worn and weary vessel 

I been hauling dreams that never seem to last 

Once I slept beside a trembling trestle 

Woke up lost across the rusty lifelines to the past

Railroad ties are not my friend, the only ties that bind 

Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away 

Silver Eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today 

Freedom?s only station to station 

A paper suitcase on the track of time 

Ain?t hard to tell a hard luck situation 

Ain?t hard to tell a homeless country poet out of rhyme
