Greenlight On The Southern - Tony Rice[00:00:00]
Standing on the sidetrack[00:00:09]
At the south end of town[00:00:11]
On a dry hot dusty August[00:00:14]
Day the steam pipe pouring down[00:00:16]
The fireman with his long oil[00:00:18]
Can oiling the old valve gears[00:00:21]
Waiting for the fast mail[00:00:24]
Train to semaphore to clear[00:00:25]
The engineer in the old high cab[00:00:30]
His gold watch in his hand[00:00:32]
Looking at the water glass[00:00:34]
And letting down the sand[00:00:36]
Rolling out on the old[00:00:39]
Main line taking up the slack[00:00:40]
Gone today so they say[00:00:43]
But tomorrow he'll be back[00:00:46]
Oh if I could return to[00:00:49]
Those boyhood days of mine[00:00:54]
And the greenlight on the[00:00:58]
Southern southern railroad line[00:01:00]
Creeping down the rusty rails[00:01:27]
Of the w**d grown branch line[00:01:29]
The section houses gray and[00:01:31]
White by the yard limit sign[00:01:33]
The hoggers call the old high ball[00:01:36]
No more time to wait[00:01:38]
Rolling down to Birmingham[00:01:41]
With a ten car load for freight[00:01:43]
Oh if I could return to[00:01:46]
Those boyhood days of mine[00:01:51]
And the greenlight on the[00:01:55]
Southern southern railroad line[00:01:57]
The whistle scream with a hiss of steam[00:02:24]
The headlight gleams clear[00:02:26]
The drivers roll on the green[00:02:29]
And go getting mighty near[00:02:30]
Handing up the orders to[00:02:33]
The engine crew on time[00:02:35]
It's the Alabama great[00:02:38]
Southern AGS railroad line[00:02:39]
Oh if I could return to[00:02:44]
Those boyhood days of mine[00:02:48]
And that greenlight on[00:02:53]
The southern southern railroad line[00:02:54]
Oh if I could return to[00:02:59]
Those boyhood days of mine[00:03:04]
And that greenlight on[00:03:08]
The southern southern railroad line[00:03:10]
