Greenlight On The Southern - Tony Rice[00:00:00]

Standing on the sidetrack at the south end of town[00:00:09]

On a dry hot dusty August day the steam pipe pouring down[00:00:13]

The fireman with his long oil can oiling the old valve gears[00:00:19]

Waiting for the fast mail train to semaphore to clear[00:00:23]

The engineer in the old high cab his gold watch in his hand[00:00:29]

Looking at the water glass and letting down the sand[00:00:34]

Rolling out on the old main line taking up the slack[00:00:39]

Gone today so they say but tomorrow he'll be back[00:00:43]

Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine[00:00:49]

And the greenlight on the southern southern railroad line[00:00:58]

Creeping down the rusty rails of the w**d grown branch line[00:01:27]

The section houses gray and white by the yard limit sign[00:01:31]

The hoggers call the old high ball no more time to wait[00:01:36]

Rolling down to Birmingham with a ten car load for freight[00:01:41]

Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine[00:01:46]

And the greenlight on the southern southern railroad line[00:01:55]

The whistle scream with a hiss of steam the headlight gleams clear[00:02:24]

The drivers roll on the green and go getting mighty near[00:02:29]

Handing up the orders to the engine crew on time[00:02:33]

It's the Alabama great southern AGS railroad line[00:02:38]

Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine[00:02:44]

And that greenlight on the southern southern railroad line[00:02:53]

Oh if I could return to those boyhood days of mine[00:02:59]

And that greenlight on the southern southern railroad line[00:03:08]
