I don't know where I'm heading
And I won't stay near enough to settle down
But this sure seems like a lovely town that we've got here
Might just take some time and look around
But when I hear that whistle blowin'
I can't help but feel a bit confused
My mind starts wanderin' when that last train's leavin'
And I'm gone before I lace up my shoes
Steel race
Carry me to another place
Well, I can't help wonderin' where that train track's windin'
Tomorrow I'll be gone without a trace
Pocket full of change and a suitcase
A hundred miles stretched out in front of me
Memories of the places and the faces I've seen
Are all I need to keep me company
When I look back on where it started
I see clear my granddaddy's hands
Holdin' on to somethin' leavin'
He grew old, still believin'
That death would never find a ramblin' man
Steel race
Carry me to another place
Well, I can't help wonderin' where that train track's windin'
Tomorrow I'll be gone without a trace
guitar solo
Steel race
Carry me to another place
Well, I can't help wonderin' where that train track's windin'
Tomorrow I'll be gone without a trace
Well, now I can't help wonderin' where that train track's windin'
Well, now I can't help wonderin' where that train track's windin'
Tomorrow I'll be gone without a trace
