Lyrics

Just an hour from Denver on that 80 line
All the way from Boston in just three days time
Oh America you're flying by
Pauline, you're a beacon in the western sky

Roll me home, on a rail of lightning
Roll me home, westerly

Come in Winnemucca let me hear that sound
Of a sweet Telecaster just getting down
Just give me another day to stay awake
Plus a couple of hours for Pauline's sake

Roll me home, on a rail of lightning
Roll me home, westerly

Darling Pauline won't you
Keep your beacon burning?
Give me direction in the night
Darling Pauline won't you
Bathe me in your breaking wave of light?

Roll me home, on a rail of lightning
Roll me home, westerly

Reno you're a-burnin' on a summer's night.
But all you'll see of me is my taillights.
I'm heading down from Tahoe and I'm gaining speed.
A quick cup and a fill up are all I need, to...

Roll me home, on a rail of lightning
Roll me home, westerly – I said
Roll me home, on a rail of lightning
Roll me home, westerly
