Lyrics On an On - Robert Earl Keen

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 red strawberry roan

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 (On and On)

In the summer of the loon, on the hen and harbor shores
By the shimmering moon they never wanted nothin more
And there aint another sound they been waiting for so long
She takes his hand and and pulls 'em down
And their love lives on and on

On and on
(On and on)

Standin' by his father′s grave
Trying hard to find the tears
Preacher says Jesus saves
But he did not save him here
Andn wonders right out loud
"Daddy, where did we go wrong?"
And his sad bewildered cryin′
Leaves him starin' at the stone

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)
