Here's Hopin' Lyrics

By the way you watch the sunset I can tell,
Soon you'll saddle up that ole strawberry roan,
Bid goodbye to the goodnight loving train,
And set off to blaze a new train of your own.
And I know you'll travel light like you always do
But you'll always take a part of us with you
Here's hopin' there's an open road before you
Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun
Here's hopin' that you do

I know you'll try to hold to higher ground
And stay one day ahead of the storm
But when a northern blows and the rain is pouring down
May you find a place to keep you safe and warm
They say every cowboy finds a home somewhere
But friend until your travels take you there
Here's hopin' there's an open road before you
Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun
Here's hopin' that you do
If the trail looks bad and you need to double back
Here's hopin' that you do'
