Road Song

When I was a little kid
My father told me
To see the world for him
So I, I took my things
And painted big 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 our lies
From the lies that you've seen?
Now 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 I was resting under the track
Even then I knew I would always be back
And I know that this steel train is gonna ride on 'til the end.
Blue skies and desert rain
I pass my life by the course of steel train
And I ride 'til the end of the rails
I tell my father of all my tales
I say everything I saw I was thinking of you
And the reason that I'm here is all 'cause of you
Don't you know I was resting under the track
But even then I knew I would always be back
I know that my steel train
Is gonna ride it to the end
I know that there's room on this steel train
We're gonna ride it to the end
I know I've got my steel train
To ride on 'til the end
