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 find myself alone at
dawn
If I really had you once, I still have you when
I’m gone
Whistle blowing, blowing 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
The sun is shining through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I’ve known
before
And I’ve lost count of all the hours, days and
time
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the 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
