Steel rails

CHORUS
Steel Rails, chasin' sunshine 'round the bend
Windin' through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind, not knowin' what lies down the tracks
'Cause I'm lookin' out ahead, to keep my mind from turin' back

It's not the first time I've found myself alone at dawn
If I'd really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blowin' , blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending meadow vine

CHORUS
Steel Rails, chasin' sunshine 'round the bend
Windin' through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind, not knowin' what lies down the tracks
'Cause I'm lookin' out ahead, to keep my mind from turin' back

BREAK

The sun is shinin' through the open boxcar door
Lining my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours, days and time
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps emotion in my mind

CHORUS
Steel Rails, chasin' sunshine 'round the bend
Windin' through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind, not knowin' what lies down the tracks
'Cause I'm lookin' out ahead, to keep my mind from turin' back

TAG
'Cause I'm lookin' out ahead
To keep my mind from turin' back
