ely joe - i had my hopes up high lyrics

Loading...

well i left my home out on the great high plains
headed for some new terrain
standin’ on the highway with my coffe cup
a’ wonderin’ who was gonna pick me up
i had my hopes up high–i never thought that i
would ever wonder why i ever said good-by
i had my hopes up high

well, the first ride i got was in a dynamite truck
the driver kept a’ tellin’ me his bad luck
as we swerved around the curves i began to shout
hey-ey mister would you let me out
i had my hopes up high–i never though that i
would ever wonder why i ever said good-by
i had my hopes up high

and the next ride i got was with a man in trouble
the beard on his face was all in a stubble
runnin’ from the law he was goin’ ninety-nine,
i said hey-ey mister you’re out of your mind
i had my hopes up high–i never thought that i
would ever wonder why i ever said good-by
i had my hopes up high

oh, the next ride i got was with a preacher man
told me that the wicked would be buried in sand
don’t know why i did it but i lost control
hey-ey papa would you save my soul
i had my hopes up high–i never thought that i
would ever wonder why i ever said good-by
i had my hopes up high

and i finally got a ride on a carnival train
nearly blew away in a hurricane
i got to thinkin’ bout that preacher down in louisianne
sittin’ on the delta siftin’ sand
i had my hopes up high–i never thought that i
would ever wonder why i ever said good-by
i had my hopes up high

from the first, live shots, mountain stage, best of vol.1, whatever happend to maria alb-m` s.
