I'll tell you it's sad but true I'm saying goodbye to you Leaves me nowhere at all No place to fall, nothin' but blue Tell me and tell me now As sweet
When the rain is fallin' you can hear me callin' Been gone so long that I wanna cry In all the cities that I see, this open road has taken me To another
There ain't no kingdom bigger Ain't no money worth Be you saint or sinner Be in heaven or on earth Behond the Rock of Ages Feel that fiery sword Forgive
boy from the hills Dirty boots, ain't got no city shoes No hundred dollar bills Now I spend my evening Dreamin' 'bout that big mother lode Dancin' down this dark mountain
left by the morning light? And I'd be 40 miles from Denver when you woke up all alone I'd be 40 miles from Denver and three days from my home In that cool mountain
Chorus: It's a bloody Mary morning Baby's left me without warning Sometime in the night And I'm flying down to Houston Forgetting her the nature of my

That old prairie wind is blowing I can feel it on my face As the land, it rolls out before me Everything is in it's place My old home, I'll never go
I wish my baby had deep pockets So we could run around Spendin' all her money Paintin' up the town I wish my baby had deep pockets I'd love life everyday
(Instrumental)
Engine's running hot But now it's burnin' down Everyone says that this is going well But I can hear every sound Four gray walls Make it all seem right
Gimme a long country road Runnin' thru ten miles o' cotton A long country road anytime A long country road Thru a time we've all forgotten A long country
