The Wagon Tongue (Album Version) - Red Steagall[00:00:01]

I hired on with Colonel Slaughter driving steers to Abilene[00:00:11]

Green and wet behind the ears a kid of seventeen[00:00:17]

Though I was raised in Texas I was not a seasoned hand[00:00:22]

So I got the job of hoodlum the coosie's right-hand man[00:00:27]

On the Llano Estacado all you see is endless plains[00:00:34]

You dread the sound of thunder there's no shelter from the rain[00:00:38]

Now the coosie did a strange thing[00:00:44]

When the evening meal was done[00:00:47]

He'd wait until the stars come out then move the wagon tongue[00:00:49]

He said son there ain't no landmarks[00:00:55]

On these wide and rollin' plains[00:00:57]

There ain't no trees or mountains so each day it looks the same[00:01:00]

But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are[00:01:06]

If you'll always point your wagon tongue toward that ol' north star[00:01:11]

Out along the Cimarron one cold and stormy night[00:01:17]

I watched the cattle stampede through the lightning's eerie light[00:01:22]

Took several days to round 'em up get 'em settled down[00:01:28]

And we followed in the wagon through the soft and muddy ground[00:01:33]

As we pushed the herd across the plains we had no way to know[00:01:38]

That we had drifted way off course towards New Mexico[00:01:43]

But the night the stars came out his theory stood the test[00:01:49]

Abilene's up north of us but we were headed west[00:01:54]

He said son there ain't no landmarks[00:02:00]

On these wide and rollin' plains[00:02:02]

There ain't no trees or mountains so each day it looks the same[00:02:05]

But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are[00:02:10]

If you'll always point your wagon tongue toward that ol' north star[00:02:16]

My life has been a full one my hair is turnin' gray[00:02:22]

And I've seen a lot of sunshine but I've seen some cloudy days[00:02:27]

For a while I wondered aimlessly and I still wear the scars[00:02:33]

Of when I didn't point my wagon tongue toward that ol' north star[00:02:38]

'Cause life is like a grassy sea the trail ain't always plain[00:02:44]

One may lead to pleasure and another lead to pain[00:02:49]

But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are[00:02:54]

If you'll always point your wagon tongue toward that ol' north star[00:02:59]

Yes you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are[00:03:05]

If you'll always point your wagon tongue toward that ol' north star[00:03:10]
