Home Before Dark |
I packed up my bags, |
Put in my favorite Levi’s. |
Laid my mandoline beside the door. |
Said to mama: |
I won’t be long, |
Don’t worry about me, |
I’ll be home before dark. |
I’ll be alright, |
And you’ll be fine without me. |
I’ll be home before dark. |
Bought a ticket |
To New York City, |
One way out and no return. |
I watched the sun go down |
Across the plains from Denver |
Lord, how the western sky can burn. |
Met a boy in the darkness |
Handsome, tall, and heartless. |
Loved him like an eagle loves the wind |
Till I heard him say: |
I won’t be long, |
Don’t worry about me, |
I’ll be home before dark. |
I’ll be alright, |
And you’ll be fine without me. |
I’ll be home before dark. |
My daughter looks like him they say |
To me she looks like mama, |
I see an eagle shadow in her eyes |
Last night, on her birthday, |
We blew the candles out together |
I wonder will she take me by surprise |
When she says: |
Mama, I won’t be long, |
Don’t worry about me, |
I’ll be home before dark. |
I’ll be alright, |
And you’ll be fine without me. |
I’ll be home before dark. |
I’ll be home before dark. |
