ROCK ME TO SLEEP
(Utah Phillips)

It's a long way from Salt Lake to Denver
Bumming the D&RG
The moonlight catches the river below
And lights up the rocks and the trees
You follow the wide Colorado
'till it narrows down into a stream
The train whistle blowing a slow lullaby
And you're rolling along in a dream

Rock me to sleep on your bosom
Hold me close to your breast
Don't leave me alone on these cold city streets
But find me a track headed west

I'm tired of your big operators
I'm tired of your music machine
I'm tired of playing for nickels and dimes
And the times are always so lean
It's a long way from no place to somewhere
Bumming all the good years away
Tonight I'm feeling so lonesome and cold
Maybe I'll find it some day
