I'm free as a man can be this is the life for me
Go when I want do or I don't no worries and troubles for me
A newspaper for my bed no naggin' woman bangin' my head
I'm free as the breeze and I go when I please
Silver rails keep me free silver rails keep me free
When I find a place I don't like when I find the things ain't right
An old freight train will be waiting to set me free
Silver rails keep me free silver rails keep me free
[ guitar - steel ]
I follow that old sunshine ain't nothing I've left behind
I'm walking it slow always ready to go I don't get far from that line
At night I get my sleep that's all I ever need
I hear the whistle call and it's goodbye to you all
Silver rails keep me free silver rails keep me free
When I find a place I don't like...
