[1] Steel rails [2m] chasin' sunshine 'round the bend
[4] Winding through the [5] trees like a [4] ribbon in the [1] wind
I don't mind not knowin' [2m] what lies down the track
'Cause I'm [4] lookin' out a-[5]-head to keep my [4] mind from turnin' [1] 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 blowin' blowin' lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending metal line

Sun is shining through the open boxcar door
Lyin' in my mind with the things I've known before
I've lost count of the hours days and nights
The rhythm of the rails keep the motion in my mind
