G  C  G  D  G
GWaitin' by the railroad in the Cwind and the Grain,
I'll know I'll not be ridin' that old freight Dtrain.
ToGnight there is a special, its Clight I can Gsee,
The train that will take me to Dmy destiGny.
GOut of the darkness, the Clight I can Gsee,
Out of the darkness, shinin' on Dme.
GFollowing that G7light, CI'll never Groam,
Following that light, DI'm goin' Ghome.
[Instrumental]
G  C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G
My Gramblin' days are done and my Cthoughts wander Gback,
To days of ridin' boxcars and campin' on the Dtrack.
GNow I'm old and weary, I Cdon't regret a Gthing,
With these fading memories, I Dhear the angels Gsing.
GOut of the darkness, the Clight I can Gsee,
Out of the darkness, shinin' on Dme.
GFollowing that G7light, CI'll never Groam,
Following that light, DI'm goin' Ghome.
[Instrumental]
G  C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G
The Gonly pal I had was Cold Cobber GJoe,
He went before me so long aDgo.
GThough its been a long time, I Cknow that he'll Gbe
Standin' by the golden gates, Dwaitin' on Gme.
GOut of the darkness, the Clight I can Gsee,
Out of the darkness, shinin' on Dme.
GFollowing that G7light, CI'll never Groam,
Following that light, DI'm goin' Ghome.
Following that light, DI'm goin' Ghome.
