Long Thin Dawn |
I’ve seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal |
In every town I’ve been to I’ve had someone to call |
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul |
I’ve had so many good friends I couldn’t miss them all |
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
Last night I came to Denver beneath the snowcapped ridge |
I thought about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge |
And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she’s learned |
That any time I’ve wandered I always have returned |
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
Right now I’m on a highway just east of Omaha |
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw |
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill |
All the way to Windsor, we’ve got some miles to kill |
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear |
And the engine sings so sweetly 'tis music to my ear |
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can |
Driving like the restless wind across this precious land |
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
Says Bill, «The air is clean tonight», as he puffs a big cigar |
«And if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you’ll travel far |
But when you are a trucker you’ll come to realize |
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by» |
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
That long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again |
