Silver rails shining ahead through the night one on the left and one on the right
Ribbons of steel leading me on silver rails silver rails carry me home
I hear the wheels go clickety-clack riding alone this steel silver track
Up off the mountain to the valley below silver rails taking me where I must go
Silver rails shining...
I see the station she's waiting for me my darling Anita so lovely to see
Lord keep the engine on this silver track
And my thanks to you sir for bringing me back
Silver rails shining...
