Passing houses all the same
I see faces (I can't name) without names
Well old train you seem to know that I
Can't turn around and go back home (and your)

Silver wheels just keep on turning turning
Roll on faster as you go
Locomotive engine churning churning
Down the line New Mexico

Vague distant memory
Seems is all that's left for me
To carry with the part aching dull inside
Silver liner got to ride

Silver wheels just keep on turning turning
Roll on faster as you go
And the tears they just keep burning burning
I can't seem to stop the flow

How long have I been here train
Not long enough to ease my pain
So I guess I'll have another for the road
One more mile to Santa Fe (while your)

Silver wheels just keep on turning turning
Roll on faster as you go
Locomotive engine churning churning
Down the line New Mexico
