Steel Rails

Steel rails chasing sunshine ‘round the bend Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track ‘Cause I’m looking out ahead
To keep my mind from turning back
It’s not the first time I’ve found myself alone at dawn But if I really had you once
Then I’d have you when I’m gone
Whistle blowin’, humming lonesome in my mind Calling me along that never-ending double line
Steel rails chasing sunshine ‘round the bend Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track ‘Cause I’m looking out ahead
To keep my mind from turning back
Sun is shining through the open boxcar door Blinding my mind to the things I’ve known before I’ve lost count of the hours, days, and time
Just the rhythm of the rails
Keepin’ motion in my mind
Steel rails chasing sunshine ‘round the bend Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track ‘Cause I’m looking out ahead
To keep my mind from turning back
Steel rails chasing sunshine ‘round the bend Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track ‘Cause I’m looking out ahead
To keep my mind from turning back
‘Cause I’m looking out ahead ...
