If you never left this place |
|
You might believe the world |
|
was dust and wind and sky |
|
The days so hard that no one |
|
save your mother doesn't drink |
|
You don't ask why |
|
The jukebox floats in smoke |
|
in the red river bar |
|
When you drive nine miles for a beer |
|
and your eyes turn red |
|
and your head is cloudy |
|
You just can't think |
|
It's late when you check |
|
out the horses and the hogs |
|
and tell them to sleep |
|
so lat the cool air |
|
comes down from Montana |
|
is thick and is deep |
|
You button your shirt |
|
standing in the red dirt |
|
beside the barn |
|
Watching the stars |
|
it's night in Wyoming |
|
and this is where the World starts |
