When GI was a little kid
My father Ctold me to see the world for Ghim

And painted pink Csunsets over the vast oGceans
DSend your dad a note
You Cmade it, kid, you're on the Groad
DSend your dad a note
You Cmade it, kid, you're on the Groad
GMother, teach me about the country
Can you tell the Clie
From the Clives that you've seen?
GMother, can you tell me
Where this Croad is gonna Glead?
Just Dlet yourself go
And Csell your soul to the Groad
Just Dlet yourself go
And Csell your soul to the Groad
EmDon't you know CI was resting under the Gtracks
EmEven then CI knew I would always be Gback
And I Amknow that this steel Ctrain 
is gonna ride on 'till the Gend
And I Amknow that this steel Ctrain 
is gonna ride on 'till the Gend
GBlue skies and desert rain
I passed my Clife by course of steel Gtrain
And i Gride to the end of the rail
I tell my Cfather of all my Gtales
I say Deverything I saw
CI was thinking of Gyou
And the Dreason I am
CHere is all becaGuse of you
EmDon't you know CI was resting under the Gtracks
EmEven then CI knew I would always be Gback
And I Amknow that my steel Ctrain 
is gonna ride on 'till the Gend
And I Amknow that my steel Ctrain 
is gonna ride on 'till the Gend
I know there's Amroom on this steel Ctrain 
and we're gonna ride it 'till the Gend

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 over the vast oceans

Send your dad a note

C G

You made it, kid, you're on the road

Send your dad a note

C G

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

C G

Where this road is gonna lead?

Just let yourself go

C G

And sell your soul to the road

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

is gonna ride on 'till the end

Am C

And I know that this steel train

is gonna ride on 'till the end

Blue skies and desert rain

C G

I passed my life by course of steel train

And i ride to the end of the rail

I tell my father of all my tales

I say everything I saw

C G

I was thinking of you

And the reason I am

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

is gonna ride on 'till the end

Am C

I know there's room on this steel train

and we're gonna ride it 'till the end
