Songtexte Way out there - Sons of the Pioneers

A lonely spot I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room
I was riding free on the old S. P
Hummin' a Southern tune
When a man came along made me hush my song
Kicked me off 'way out there
As he 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 playin' there
I watched the prairie dog feed on a tumbleweed
That's his home way out there
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 rising moon
He gets lonesome way out there
So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
Lost myself in dreams
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land
Then I woke up with a start
There's a train coming back on that one way track
Gonna take me away from here
As she was passing by I caught her on the fly
I climbed in an open door
Then I turned around to that desert ground
Saw the spot I would see no more
As I was riding away I heard the pale moon say
Farewell old pal it sure gets lonesome here
