When I was a little kid
My father told me to see the world for him
So I took my things
And painted pink sunsets over the vast oceans
Send your dad a note
You made it, kid, you're on the road
Send your dad a note
You made it, kid, you're on the road
Mother, teach me about the country
Can you tell the lie
From the lives that you've seen?
Mother, can you tell me
Where this road is gonna lead?
Just let yourself go
And sell your soul to the road
Just let yourself go
And sell your soul to the road
Don't you know I was resting under the tracks
Even then I knew I would always be back
And I know that this steel train
is gonna ride on 'till the end
And I know that this steel train
is gonna ride on 'till the end
Blue skies and desert rain
I passed my life by course of steel train
And i ride to the end of the rail
I tell my father of all my tales
I say everything I saw
I was thinking of you
And the reason I am
Here is all because of you
Don't you know I was resting under the tracks
Even then I knew I would always be back
And I know that my steel train
is gonna ride on 'till the end
And I know that my steel train
is gonna ride on 'till the end
I know there's room on this steel train
and we're gonna ride it 'till the end
