|
I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind |
|
Blowing down from every mile I've ever been |
|
Calling me out on some road that just won't end |
|
Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again |
|
A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows |
|
But there is no compensation for me now |
|
Out along the highway where the west was won |
|
No matter how fast I ride or far I run |
|
Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo |
|
They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo |
|
She'll come to town to ride the radio |
|
Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho |
|
There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo |
|
I stepped into the light you left behind |
|
I stood there where all the world could see me shine |
|
Oh I was on my way to you to make you mine |
|
But I took the longest road that I could find |
