The song Steel Rails is performed by John Denver in the album named All Aboard! in the year 1997 .
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 then I'd 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 and 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
?Cause I?m looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
