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.

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.

And don't you know 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 course of steel train
And I'll ride until 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.
