I saw you down in a Coeur d' Alene diner
Taking orders from wanna-be miners
Looking such a long way from home
In your eyes there were troubled skies
Saw you flinch from a stranger's laughter
You looked such a long ways from home
What's that I heard you say?
You're saving up for a rainy day
Well girl that rain is coming down
So hop on let's get homeward bound
So hey, you went your way
Running roads where no cotton grows
Reminds me of those days down in Baton Rouge
When a Cajun queen said she liked my jeans
This old guitar and the way I sing
I fell so hard I laid the music down
Remember when we lost our days
Singing Hank songs in your old man's hay
I can still taste that sweat we had running down
When the thunder came
We'd make our way
Up the sand ridge over Robber's Bay
And watch all of heaven touch the ground
Taking orders from wanna-be miners
Looking such a long way from home
In your eyes there were troubled skies
Saw you flinch from a stranger's laughter
You looked such a long ways from home
What's that I heard you say?
You're saving up for a rainy day
Well girl that rain is coming down
So hop on let's get homeward bound
So hey, you went your way
Running roads where no cotton grows
Reminds me of those days down in Baton Rouge
When a Cajun queen said she liked my jeans
This old guitar and the way I sing
I fell so hard I laid the music down
Remember when we lost our days
Singing Hank songs in your old man's hay
I can still taste that sweat we had running down
When the thunder came
We'd make our way
Up the sand ridge over Robber's Bay
And watch all of heaven touch the ground
