Alison Krauss - Steel Rails lyrics

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend Winding through the 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've found myself alone and known If I really had you once, then I'd have you when I'm gone Whistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mind Calling me along that never ending metal line Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend Winding through the 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 nights The rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend winding through the 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
