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 rested under the track 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 passed my life by course of Steel Train And I ride to 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 because of you Don't you know I was rested under the track But even then I knew I would always be back Oh yeah, I know that my Steel Train Is gonna ride until the end Yeah, I know there's room on this Steel Train We're gonna ride it 'till the end, alright Hey babe, I know all about my Steel Train We're gonna ride on 'till the end
