By the way you watch the sunset I can tell Soon you'll saddle up that ole strawberry roan Bid goodbye to the goodnight loving train And set off to blaze a new train of your own And I know you'll travel light like you always do But you'll always take a part of me with you
Here's hopin' there's an open road before you Here's hopin' that your aim is always true And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun Here's hopin' that you do
I know you'll try to hold to higher ground And stay one day ahead of the storm But when a northern blows and the rain keeps pouring down May you find a place to keep you safe and warm They say every cowboy finds a home somewhere But friend until your travels take you there
Here's hopin' there's an open road before you...
If the trail looks bad and you need to double back Here's hopin' that you do
