Chorus: And I'll wait (ride) with my songs, in my saddle; It's a hot, dusty world way out there, And a damn lonesome life punchin' cattle Makes me live for the moments when dawn will be there. When the trail boss gets rough and the going gets tough, And the noon sun is too hot to bear I'll be riding along, making up some new song About morning, when dawn will be there. And in the evenings I'll lie beneath God's starry sky The stars seem to whisper in rhyme, "Have patience, old friend. Every round-up must end. You've been waiting for dawn a long time." So when this long drive is over and this lonesome drover Will hit the trail without a care, I'll go off and find me some peace of mind In the morning, when dawn will be there. Last chorus: And now I lie on the ground in my bedroll Not a pillow to rest my head on And I empty my mind of these dusty, old times And lie there and dream about dawn. (repeat last chorus) |
