Steel Rails Lyrics - Singles - Alison Krauss

Steel rails chasin' sunshine round the bend 

Winding through 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 found myself alone at dawn 

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

Whistle blowing blowin' lonesome in my mind 

Calling me along that never endin' metal line. 

Steel rails chasin' sunshine round the bend 

Winding through 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 shinning 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 times 

Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind. 

Steel rails chasin' sunshine 

Cause I'm looking out ahead to round the bend 

Winding through 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. 

keep my mind from turning back...
