E Traveling to the tune of freight wheels C#m Is such a lonely sound E Here that lonesome whistle blow B And leave another town A B I wish someone was waiting A B Somewhere to welcome me A E Then those silver ribbons A E Would see no more of me [Chorus] A B E Dont ask me where Im going A B E Dont ask me where Ive been A B E A Those silver ribbons will take me there A B A There......... and back again A B A B F# One more time....back again......
