Artist/Band: Waylon Jennings
Lyrics for Song: Silver Ribbon
Lyrics for Album: Nashville Rebel [1973]



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

Don't ask me where I've been

Those silver ribbons will take me there

There and back again...
