Robert Earl Keen - On And On lyrics

In the purple setting sun, she rides her horse around the ring Gives him a kick, he starts to run, keeping time and galloping They ride around until they're free, into the wilderness unknown Living out her fantasy on that brave strawberry roan On and on (on and on) On and on He locks the door, dims the light, trims the knob, flips a switch He plays a chord, it sounds alright, his head is light, his fingers twitch He plays the rythm and the blues from midnight to the dawn Singin' "Have You Heard The News" like there ain't no other song On and on On and on On and on from the beginning Round and round this world keeps spinning All alone (all alone) On and on In the summer of the loon, on a hidden harbor shore By the shimmering moon they never wanted nothin' more And there ain't another sound they been waitin' for so long She takes his hand and pulls him down and their love lives on and on On and on (on and on) On and on Standin' by his father's grave, trying hard to find a tear Preacher says Jesus saves but he did not save him here And he wonders right out loud "daddy, where did we go wrong?" As his sad bewildered cryin' leaves him starin' at the stone (at the stone) On and on (on and on) On and on On and on from the beginning Round and round this world keeps spinning All alone (all alone) On and on (on and on)
