Lyrics for Steel Rails

Steel rails chasin' 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 found myself alone at dawn If I really had you once then I'd have you when I'm gone Whistle blowing,blowin' lonesome in my mind Calling me along that never endin' metal line Steel rails chasin' sunshine round the bend Winding through 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 shinning through the open boxcar door Lying in my mind with the things I've known before I've lost count of the hours, days and times Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind Steel rails chasin' 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 to keep my mind from turning back
