I was rollin' up the shakes I knowed I was gonna stay
When I walked up to meet her from a westbound train
From a westbound train
I was washing my clothes in the kitchen sink watching dirt run down the drain
Was the last time I seen her on an eastbound day
On an eastbound day
Starlight
Take me through the night
Starlight
Shining down the pines
Nothing for to keep me
Empty hands and holy jeans
Two more shows to New Orleans
That's alright
Yeah that's alright
I been down in Mexico no reason left at all
But for knowing and believing in what I can't recall
In what I can't recall
I been down in county jails seen it written on the wall
Ain't a rhyme or an answer in this road at all
In this road at all
Starlight
Take me through the night
Starlight
Shining down the pines
Ain't a comin' with me got the Bighorn range to lift me
Ten more miles to Rapid City
That's alright
Yeah that's alright
Seen it snowing down on Waycross all around me where I lay
Was a white Christmas on a cold steel day
On a cold steel day
Been rained on in the desert bout an hour south of Steen's
Seen the sky light up and turn the dead hills green
Turn the dead hills green
Starlight
Take me through the night
Starlight
Shining down the line
If there's nothin' to this have another drink on Clovis
It don't take smart folks to know this
That's alright
Yeah thats alright
