The Rails Lyrics by Thrasher Shiver

Thrasher Shiver

1996

[Verse 1]
Hangin' out at Miller's trestle, listenin' for that distant whistle
Waiting there, our ears pressed to the steel
Two crazy kids with a one-track-mind, double darin' all the time
To see who'd stand the closest to the wheels
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Once the train had rolled on by
I'd walk the left, you'd walk the right
Stretching out our arms, pretending to ride
[Chorus]
The rails, running forever side by side
The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh
Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight
[Post-Chorus 1]
The rails
[Verse 2]
You went east and I went west, that's the way life goes I guess
Before you know it, time just rolls on by
Through all the twists and turns of fate
A lot has changed but nothin' breaks
Or even bends the strength of those old ties
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're grown up now with kids and lives
We do our jobs, we do what's right
Ain't it funny how we turned out just like
[Chorus]
The rails, running forever side by side
The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh
Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight
[Post-Chorus 2]
I'm still on the left, and you're still on the right
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Ohh, ohh, the rails, running forever side by side
The rails, staying together like ties that bind, woh ohh
Like two old friends, there ain't no end in sight
[Post-Chorus]
Ohh, the rails (woh oh oh, woh oh ohh, ohh)
[Outro]
Ohh, ohh, the rails (woh oh oh, woh oh ohh, ohh)
Woh ohh, the rails, yeah
