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