garth brooks - night rider's lament lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
one night while i was out a-ridin’
the graveyard shift, midnight ’til dawn
the moon was bright as a readin’ light
for a letter from an old friend back home

[chorus]
and he asked me, why do you ride for your money
tell me why do you rope for short pay
you ain’t a-gettin’ nowhere, and you’re losin’ your share
boy, you must’ve gone crazy out there

[verse 2]
he said last night i ran on to jenny
and she’s married and she has a good life
boy, you sure missed the track, when you never came back
she’s the perfect professional’s wife

[chorus]
and she asked me, why does he ride for his money
tell me why does he rope for short pay
he ain’t a-gettin’ nowhere, and he’s losin’ his share
boy, he must’ve gone crazy out there

[bridge]
aw, but they’ve never seen the northern lights
they’ve never seen a hawk on the wing
they’ve never spent spring at the great divide
and they’ve never heard ol’ camp cookie sing

[verse 3]
so i read up the last of my letter
and i tore off the stamp for black jim
and when billy rode up to relieve me
he just looked at my letter and grinned

[chorus]
and he said, now why do they ride for their money
tell me why do they ride for short pay
they ain’t a-gettin nowhere, and they’re losin’ their share
boy, they must have gone crazy out there

[outro]
son, they all must be crazy out there
