[Verse 1]
Down the mountainside to the coastline
Past the angry tide the mighty diesel whines
And the tunnel comes and the tunnel goes
Round another bend the giant drivers roll
[Chorus]
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails through the moonlight
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 2]
I rode the Highball, I fired the Daylight
When I turned sixty-five, I couldn't see right
So it was Mr. Jones, "We've got to let you go
That's company policy, your gonna get a pension though"
[Chorus]
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails through the day
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
Down the mountainside to the coastline
Past the angry tide the mighty diesel whines
And the tunnel comes and the tunnel goes
Round another bend the giant drivers roll
[Chorus]
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails through the moonlight
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 2]
I rode the Highball, I fired the Daylight
When I turned sixty-five, I couldn't see right
So it was Mr. Jones, "We've got to let you go
That's company policy, your gonna get a pension though"
[Chorus]
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails through the day
Roll on, Southern Pacific
On your silver rails, on your silver rails
