Conestoga
I have wandered through the hills of better days
Broken my own heart with my cheatin' ways
So I'll try to make amends, I will rectify
All the time I spent more dead than alive
Darlin' hitch up the Conestoga
Ride me gently to and fro
I have searched many a lifetime
All for what I do not know
All for what I know
Give me freedom like the flight of a raven's wing
Lie down with the sun, rise and start to sing
Lonesome doves will always find their way back home
But there's seed to feed anywhere they roam
Darlin' pack up the Conestoga
Ride me gently to and fro
I have searched many a lifetime
All for what I do not know
All for what I know
I will take the reins when you need to sleep
I will soothe your pain if your back grows weak
But first these words you must speak
I am ready to go, I'm ready to go
Darlin' hitch up the Conestoga
Ride me gently sweet and low
I have searched many a lifetime
All for what I do not know
All for what I know
Ready to go
Ready to go
I have wandered through the hills of better days*
*I have wandered through the hells of bitter days?
