Railsong Reunion

(whoop!) Morning mist along the siding,

kettle whistling on the stove

Pack the canvas bag with stories that we gathered down the road

Every junction brings a brother,

every station finds a friend

Hear the iron ribbons

calling round the bend

Singing roll on, wheels of steady steel

Rolling through the pine and golden field

Hand in hand we keep the fire bright

Rolling on together through the night (roll on,

roll on!)

Shared a tin of sweetened coffee on an open flatcar floor

Watching river valleys widening to an unfamiliar shore

Strangers bound by heavy ties that weld across the miles

Trading worn-out boots and honest smiles

Singing roll on, wheels of steady steel

Rolling through the pine and golden field

Hand in hand we keep the fire bright

Rolling on together through the night

(together,

yeah!)

There's a lantern swinging gently at the switch

Showing us the path we wouldn't miss

Not the miles behind,

but the hands we hold ahead (hear that whistle blow!)

Singing roll on, wheels of steady steel

Rolling through the pine and golden field

Hand in hand we keep the fire bright

Rolling on together through the night

Rolling on together! (hey!) Hear the iron ribbon hum

Home is wherever we come
