Chorus 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, blowing lonesome, in my mind
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
