JOHN DENVER - Steel Rails lyrics

rate me

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 find myself alone at dawn

If I really had you once then I'd still have you when I'm gone

Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome in my mind

Calling me along that never ending double 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

The sun is shining through the open boxcar door

Lying in my mind with the things I've known before

And I've lost count of all the hours and days and time

Just 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
