INTRO
G C G
Waitin' by the railroad in the wind and the rain,
D
I'll know I'll not be ridin' that old freight train.
G C G
Tonight there is a special, its light I can see,
D G
The train that will take me to my destiny.
G C G
Out of the darkness, the light I can see,
D
Out of the darkness, shinin' on me.
G G7 C G
Following that light, I'll never roam,
D G
Following that light, I'm goin' home.

My ramblin' days are done and my thoughts wander back,
D
To days of ridin' boxcars and campin' on the track.
G C G
Now I'm old and weary, I don't regret a thing,
D G
With these fading memories, I hear the angels sing.
G C G
Out of the darkness, the light I can see,
D
Out of the darkness, shinin' on me.
G G7 C G
Following that light, I'll never roam,
D G
Following that light, I'm goin' home.

The only pal I had was old Cobber Joe,
D
He went before me so long ago.
G C G
Though its been a long time, I know that he'll be
D G
Standin' by the golden gates, waitin' on me.
G C G
Out of the darkness, the light I can see,
D
Out of the darkness, shinin' on me.

Following that light, I'll never roam,

Following that light, I'm goin' home.

Following that light, I'm goin' home.
