Greenlight On The Southern - Tony Rice
Standing on the sidetrack
at the south end of town
On a dry hot dusty August
day the steam pipe pouring down
The fireman with his long oil
can oiling the old valve gears
Waiting for the fast mail
train to semaphore to clear

The engineer in the old high cab
his gold watch in his hand
Looking at the water glass
and letting down the sand
Rolling out on the old
main line taking up the slack
Gone today so they say
but tomorrow he'll be back

Oh if I could return to
those boyhood days of mine
And the greenlight on the
southern southern railroad line

Creeping down the rusty rails
of the weed grown branch line
The section houses gray and
white by the yard limit sign
The hoggers call the old high ball
no more time to wait
Rolling down to Birmingham
with a ten car load for freight

Oh if I could return to
those boyhood days of mine

And the greenlight on the
southern southern railroad line

The whistle scream with a hiss of steam
the headlight gleams clear

The drivers roll on the green
and go getting mighty near
Handing up the orders to
the engine crew on time
It's the Alabama great
southern AGS railroad line

Oh if I could return to
those boyhood days of mine

And that greenlight on
the southern southern railroad line

Oh if I could return to
those boyhood days of mine

And that greenlight on
the southern southern railroad line
