<P> `` End of the Line '' is the last track from the Traveling Wilburys ' first album , Volume 1 , released in 1988 . It was also issued as the band 's second single , in January 1989 . The song 's riding - on - the - rails rhythm suggests its theme and the on - the - move nature of the group . It features all the Wilburys ( excluding Bob Dylan , who was on tour at the time ) as lead singers ; George Harrison , Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn , while Tom Petty sings the verses . The song was mainly written by Harrison and was assigned to his publishing company . In keeping with the collaborative concept behind the Wilburys project , however , all five members received a songwriting credit . </P>
