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
