Steel Rails

歌詞

This song was first released on the All Aboard! album. It is the only album it has been released on. 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, I 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, 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 Words and music by Louisa Banscomb
