"Road Song" lyrics - STEEL TRAIN

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 from 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 that I was resting under the tracks
But even then I knew I would always be back
'Cause I know that this steel train
Is gonna ride on till the end

Blue skies and desert rain
I passed my life by the course of steel train
And I'll ride to the end of the rails
I'll tell my father of all my tales

I'll say "Everything I saw, I was thinking of you"
And the reason that I'm here is all because of you

Don't you know that I was resting under the tracks
But even then I knew I would always be back
You know that I know that my steel train
I'll ride it till the end
You know that I know that this steel train
Is gonna ride on till the end
And I know that this steel train...
