     C           Dm 
Chorus       Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
               F           G                               F                                 C 
          Winding through trees, like a ribbon in the wind
         C                                 Dm 
      I don't mind, not knowing what lies down the track
         F                   G                     F                         C 
  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
 F                               G                     F                           C 
If I really had you once, then I'd have you, when I'm gone
   C   Dm 
Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome, in my mind
 F             G           F                                 C 
Calling me along, that never ending, metal line
chorus

Sun is shinning, through the open box car door
Lying in, my mind, with the things I've known before

cause I'm looking out ahead ~~, To keep my mind from turning back
