Alison Krauss & Union Station - Steel Rails Lyrics
(louise branscombe/one note pub.-sawgrass music, bmi)Steel rails, chasing sunshine round the bendWinding through the trees, like a ribbon in the windI don't mind not knowing what lies down the trackCause i'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning backIt's not the first time i've found myself alone and knownIf i really had you once, then i'd have you when i'm goneWhistle blows, blowin' lonesome in my mindCalling me along that never ending metal lineSteel rails, chasing sunshine round the bendWinding through the trees, like a ribbon in the windI don't mind not knowing what lies down the trackCause i'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning backSun is shining, through the open boxcar doorLying in my mind with the things i've known beforeI've lost count of the hours, days, and nightsThe rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mindSteel rails, chasing sunshine round the bendWinding through the trees, like a ribbon in the windI don't mind not knowing what lies down the trackCause i'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning backCause i'm looking out ahead, to keep my mind from turning back
