Lyrics:

Steel rails chasing 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
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-ending metal line
Steel rails chasing 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 shining 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 time
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind
Steel rails chasing 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
'Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
