Night Rider's Lament - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
While I was out[00:00:40]
A ridin'[00:00:43]
The grave yard shift midnight till dawn[00:00:45]
The moon was as bright as a readin' light[00:00:49]
For a letter from an old friend back home[00:00:54]
And he asked me[00:00:59]
Why do you ride for your money[00:01:01]
Why do you rope for short pay[00:01:06]
You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share[00:01:10]
You must have gone crazy out there[00:01:18]
Tells me last night he run on to Jenny[00:01:25]
She's married and has a good life[00:01:30]
Boy you sure missed the track when you never come back[00:01:34]
She's the perfect professional's wife[00:01:38]
And she asked him[00:01:44]
Why does he ride for his money[00:01:45]
Why does he rope for short pay[00:01:50]
He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share[00:01:54]
Well he must've gone crazy out there[00:02:02]
But they ain't never seen the northern lights[00:02:08]
They've never seen a hawk on the wing[00:02:14]
They've never seen spring at the great divide[00:02:18]
They've never heard ole camp cookie sing[00:02:26]
Well I read up the last of my letter[00:02:33]
Tore off the stamp for black Jim[00:02:38]
Bill he rode up to relieve me[00:02:42]
He just looked at my letter and grinned[00:02:46]
He said you know I wonder[00:02:52]
Why do they ride for their money[00:02:53]
Why do they ride for short pay[00:02:58]
They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share[00:03:02]
They all must be crazy back there[00:03:10]
'Cause They ain't never seen the northern lights[00:03:16]
They've never seen a hawk on the wing[00:03:21]
They've never seen spring hit the great divide[00:03:26]
They've never heard ole camp cookie sing[00:03:34]
