COWBOY'S DREAM No 19
(Dan Hicks)
I long to go where the s***e is wider
To ride some horseback and to roll my own smokes
Longing to go back where people seem politer
To say hello & evenin' I'll go
I been way so long I think this is the right road
But it's changed so much, I ain't knowin' for sure
Yes the day will come and I'll be on the right road
I'm sayin' hello & evenin' I'll go
I can send off a letter to 'em, but that would leave no surprise
No I got to wait, wait for that look in their eyes
And I'll sit by the creek where the water runs cool
And I'll know I'll have such a good time
I'm sayin' hello & evenin' I'll go
I can smell the coffee brewin', I'll take mine black
You know it's good, good to be back
Go on tell me how you folks been doin'
I'm sayin' hello & evenin' I'll go
Hey Bill, won't you tell me when that train does stop
I want to get off and say hello to a couple of people I think I still know
And I ain't one to mince my words, I take piece of the cake that they make
I can't be late - you got to get what's on the plate
I'm sayin' hello & evenin' I'll go
