And I’d ride the Silver Eagle to the last town on the line, Railroad ties are not my friend the only ties that bind. Just watch the troubled countryside gently fall away, Silver Eagle, hold me, guide me, roll me homeward from today. ---

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’, We’re gonna do what they say can’t be done. We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there. I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run. Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes. Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make. The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there’s beer in Texarcana. And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes. ---

Picking petals off a flower, loves me, loves me not Is love another way to count the things you haven’t got? We wish the best to all our friends, young and old alike When the dust has settled in the sky, you can have anything you like Poor bird flies up in the air, never getting anywhere And how much misery can one soul take? Trying to fly away might have been your first mistake Poor bird flies up in the air Never getting anywhere ---

There’s a high flyin’ bird, way up in the sky, You know I wonder if she looks down, as she flies on by? She’s flying on the air so easily in the sky. Lord, look at me here, I’m rooted like a tree here, yes I am now. I got those sit-down, Can’t cry Oh Lord, I’m gonna die blues. ---

When you attend a funeral, It is sad to think that sooner or Later those you love will do the same for you. And you may have thought it tragic, Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do. But don’t you worry. No more ashes, no more sackcloth. And an armband made of black cloth Will some day never more adorn a sleeve. For if the bomb that drops on you Gets your friends and neighbors too, There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve. And we will all go together when we go. What a comforting fact that is to know. Universal bereavement, An inspiring achievement, Yes, we all will go together when we go. ---

Readying to bury your father and your mother What did you think when you lost another? I used to wonder, why did you bother? Distanced from one, blind to the other Listen here my sister and my brother What would you care if you lost the other? I always wonder, why did we bother? Distanced from one, blind to the other Oh, but sweetness follows It’s these little things, they can pull you under Live your life filled with joy and wonder I always knew this altogether thunder Was lost in our little lives Oh, but sweetness follows ---

You sheltered me from harm. Kept me warm, kept me warm You gave my life to me Set me free, Set me free The finest years I ever knew Were all the years I had with you And I would give anything I own, Would give up my life, my heart, my home. I would give everything I own, Just to have you back again. ---
