While I was out a ridin' the grave yard shift midnight till dawn | |
The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home | |
And he asked me why do you ride for your money and why do you rope for short pay | |
You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share | |
Boy you must have gone crazy out there | |
He said last night he runnin' to Jenny she's married and has a good life | |
And boy you sure missed the track when you never come back | |
She's the perfect professional's wife | |
And she asked him why does he ride for his money | |
And tell me why does he rope for short pay | |
He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share | |
Well he must've gone crazy out there | |
Ah but they've never seen the Northern Lights | |
They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing | |
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide | |
And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing | |
Well I read up the last of my letter and tore off the stamp for black Jim | |
And when Billy rode up to relieve me he just looked at my letter and grinned | |
He said you know I wonder 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 loosin' their share | |
Son, they all must be crazy out there | |
They ain't never seen the Northern Lights | |
They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing | |
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide | |
And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing |
