Lyrics There's a Rugged Road - Shawn Colvin
There's
a
rugged
road
on
the
prairie
Stretchin'
all
across
the
last
frontier
There
a
stranger
strives
solitary
Blessed
is
the
lonesome
pioneer
Roll
on,
roll
on,
roll
on
Night
birds
are
flyin'
Come
on,
the
light
is
gone
Hope's
slowly
dyin'
Tell
me
how
you
come
ridin'
through
Still
surveyin'
the
miles
yet
to
run
On
the
long
and
lonely
road
to
kingdom
come
She
can
blaze
a
trail,
through
the
rumblin'
Dims
her
guiding
light
to
just
a
spark
When
the
hour
is
low,
she
comes
tumblin'
When
the
moon
is
high
she
gives
her
heart
Roll
on,
roll
on,
roll
on
Night
birds
are
flyin'
Come
on,
the
light
is
gone
Hope's
slowly
dyin'
Tell
me
how
you
come
ridin'
through
Gainin'
steady
till
this
round
is
won
On
the
long
and
lonely
road
to
kingdom
come
People
far
below
chasin'pleasures
Offer
her
directions
on
the
run
Prophets
on
the
path
offertreasures
Though
she's
mighty
hungry
she
takes
none
Roll
on,
roll
on,
roll
on
Night
birds
are
flyin'
Come
on,
the
light
is
gone
Hope's
slowly
dyin'
Tell
me
how
you
come
ridin'
through
Blindly
faithful
but
followin'
none
On
the
long
and
lonely
road
to
kingdom
come
When
the
sun
goes
down
at
the
right
time
She
comes
windin'
through
the
purple
haze
Just
a
feather's
touch
in
the
nighttime
But
it'll
color
all
my
weary
days
Shinin'
finer
than
this
earthly
sun
On
the
ragged
rugged
road
to
kingdom
come
On
the
ragged
rugged
road
to
kingdom
come
