Way Out There Songtext
von Hank Snow

A lonely spot I know where no man will
Go where the shadows have all the room
I was ridin′ free on that old SP humming a southern tune
When a man came along made me hush my song kicked me off way out there
As she pulled out of sight I turned
To the right the left and everywhere
But all I could see was a cactus tree and a prairie dog playing there
I watched the prairie dog feed on the
Tumbleweed that's his home way out there
So I threw down my load in the desert road rested my weary legs too
I watched the sinking sun make the tall
Shadows run out across that barren plain


Then I hummed a tune to the risin′ moon he gets lonesome way out there
So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies and lost myself in dreams
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk
And honey land then I awoke with a start
There the train comin' back on the
Oneway track going to take me away from here
As she was passin' by I caught her on the fly climbed in an open door
Then I turned around to that desert
Ground saw the spot I would see no more
As I was ridin′ away I heard the pale moon
Say Farewell pal it sure gets lonesome here
(Way out here)
