[E]On a grey-hound 30                 [D]Miles  beyond           [A]James town,
He saw the sunset on the           Tennessee               Line
Looked at the young man who was    Riding             be - Side him,
He said I’m  old kinda             Worn   out          in -Side
I worked my whole life in the      Steel  mills near       Gary
And my father before me I          Helped build this       Land
Now I’m 77 and with                God as my               Witness  I
Earned every dollar that           Passed through my       Hands.

[E]The rain hit the old dog in the    [D]Twi-lights last     [A]Gleaming.
He said son it sounds like         Rattl-ing old       Bones
This highway is long but I         Know  some that are Longer
By sun up to-mor-row  I            Guess I’ll be       Home
Through the hill of  Kentucky     ‘Cross the ohio      River
The old man kept talking about his Life and his        Times
He fell asleep with  his head a  - Gainst the          Window he
Said an honest man’s pllow is      His peace of        Mind  this
