Steel Rails Lyric by Alison Krauss

Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bend
Winding through the trees, like a ribbon in the wind
I dont mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause Im looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Its not the first time Ive found myself alone and known
If I really had you once, then Id have you when Im 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 dont mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause Im 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 Ive known before
Ive 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 dont mind not knowing what lies down the track
Cause Im looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back

Cause Im looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
