A jogger running down a country road is startled as a horse yells at him "Hey-come over hear buddy". The jogger is stunned but runs over to the fence where the horse is standing and asks"Were you talking to me"?

The horse replies"Sure was, man I've got a problem. I won the Kentucky Derby a few years ago and this farmer bought me and now all I do is pull a plow and I'm sick of it. Why don't you run up to the house and offer him $5,000 to buy me. I'll make you some money 'cuz I can still run."

The jogger thought to himself,"boy a talking horse" Dollar signs started appearing in his head. So he runs to the house and the old farmer is sitting on the porch. The jogger tells the farmer"Hey man, I'll give you $5,000 for that old broken down nag you've got in the field".

The farmer replies, "Son you can't believe anything that horse says. He's never even been to Kentucky."

Steel Rails

Steel Rails, chasing sunshine ’round the bend
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track
’Cause I’m looking out ahead
To keep my mind from turning back

It’s not the first time, I find myself alone at dawn
If I really had you once, I still have you when I'm gone
Whistle blowing, blowing lonesome in my mind
Calling me along that never ending double line M

Steel Rails, chasing sunshine ’round the bend
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track
’Cause I’m looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back

The sun is shining through the open boxcar door
Lying in my mind with the things I’ve known before
And I’ve lost count of all the hours, days and time
Just the rhythm of the rails keeps the motion in my mind

Steel Rails, chasing sunshine ’round the bend
Winding through the trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don’t mind not knowing what lies down the track
’Cause I’m looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back
