Night Rider's Lament - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]

While I was out a-riding[00:00:05]

The graveyard shift midnight till dawn[00:00:10]

The moon was as bright as a reading light[00:00:16]

For a letter from an old friend back home[00:00:21]

And He asked me[00:00:25]

Why do you ride for your money [00:00:26]

Why do you rope for short pay [00:00:31]

You ain't getting nowhere[00:00:36]

And you're losing your share[00:00:38]

Oh You must've gone crazy out there[00:00:45]

He said last night I ran into Jenny[00:00:50]

They married and have a good life[00:00:56]

Oh you sure missed the track when you never came back[00:01:01]

She made the perfect professional's wife[00:01:06]

He asked me[00:01:10]

Why do you ride for your money [00:01:12]

Why do you rope for short pay [00:01:17]

You ain't getting nowhere[00:01:22]

And you're losing your share[00:01:24]

Oh You must've gone crazy out there[00:01:30]

They've never seen the northern lights[00:01:36]

Never seen a hawk on the wing[00:01:41]

Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide[00:01:47]

Oh they never heard old Camp Cookie sing[00:01:55]

Now I read up the last of my letter[00:02:21]

And tore off the stamp for Black Jim[00:02:26]

Little Dougie rode up to relieve me[00:02:31]

He just looked at my letter and grinned[00:02:36]

And He asked me[00:02:40]

Why do they ride for their money [00:02:42]

Why do they rope for short pay [00:02:47]

They ain't getting nowhere[00:02:51]

And they're losing their share[00:02:54]

Oh they must've crazy out there[00:03:00]

They've never seen the northern lights[00:03:06]

They Never seen a hawk on the wing[00:03:11]

They Never seen the spring hit the Great Divide[00:03:16]

And they never heard old Camp Cookie sing[00:03:25]
