Steel Train - Road Song lyrics

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 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 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 Blue skies and desert rain I pa**ed 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 I know that my steel train is gonna ride until the end I know there's room on this steel train and we're gonna ride it 'till the end
