WAYLON JENNINGS - SILVER RIBBONS lyrics

rate me

Travelin' down this lonesome railroad Silver Ribbons with no ends

A million miles a crossties mark a million miles I've been

I've picked peaches down in Georgia apples up in Maine

Pulled cotton out in Texas ridin' on the train

I was just a lad of seventeen my daddy turned me loose

Silver Ribbons callin' me engine and caboose

I can't recall my mother she left when I was two

Brunets blondes and red heads were the only love I knew

Don't ask me where I'm going don't ask me where I've been

Those Silver Ribbons will take me there there and back again

One more time back again

Travelin' to the tune of freight wheels is such a lonely sound

Hear that lonesome whistle blow as leavin' another town

I wish someone was waitin' somewhere to welcome me

Then those Silver Ribbons would see no more of me

Don't ask me where I'm going...
