Night Rider's Lament

 

Night Rider's Lament

(album: Ridin' High - 1975)


One night while I was out a riding
The grave yard shift, midnight 'til dawn
The moon was bright as a reading light
For a letter from an old friend back home

And he asked me
Why do you ride for your money
Tell me why do you rope for short pay
You ain't a'getting nowhere
And you're losing your share
Boy, you must have gone crazy out there

He said last night I ran on to Jenny
She's married and has a good life
And boy you sure missed the track
When you never come back
She's the perfect professional's wife

And she asked me
Why does he ride for his money
And tell me why does he rope for short pay
He ain't a'getting nowhere
And he's losing his share
Boy he must've gone crazy out there

Ah, but they've never seen the Northern Lights
They've never seen a hawk on the wing
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
And they've never heard ole' camp cookie sing

Well, I read up the last of my letter
And I tore off the stamp for black Jim
And when Billy rode up to relieve me
He just looked at my letter and grinned

He said now
Why do they ride for their money
Tell me why do they ride for short pay
They ain't a'getting nowhere
And they're losing their share
Boy, they must've gone crazy out there
Son, they all must be crazy out there

klaar
