(Emmylouy Harris / Paul Kennerley)
|
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
|
