Hank Snow - Way Out There lyrics

(Way out there) A lonely spot I know where no man will go where the shadows have all the room I was ridin' free on that 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 the 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 [ piano ] 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 the oneway track going to take me away from here [ guitar ] As she was pa**in' by I caught her on the fly 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 (Way out here)
