Sons Of The Pioneers - Way Out There lyrics

A lonely spot, I know where no man will go Where the shadows have all the room I was ridin' free on the old SP Humming a southern tune When a man came along made me hush my song Kicked me off, way out there As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right A left and everywhere But all I could see was a cactus tree And a prairie dog playing there I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed That's his home, way out there So I threw down my load in the desert road Rested my weary legs too I watched the sinking sun, make the tall shadows run Out across that barren plain Then I hummed a tune to the risin' moon He gets lonesome way out there So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies And lost myself in dreams I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land Then I awoke with a start There the train comin' back on that one way track Gonna take me away from here As she was pa**in' by, I caught her on the fly I climbed in an open door Then I turned around to that desert ground Saw the spot I would see no more As I was ridin' away I heard the pale moon say Farewell pal It sure gets lonesome here
