"When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along
The Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams
Upon your love, babe
And lie beneath
The laughter of your eyes"
Those things can never happen, she's dead.
In the chorus
"It's snowin' on Raton
Come morning I'll be through
Them hills and gone"
It's tough but I'm going to make it.
In the second verse
"Mother thinks the road
Is long and lonely
Little brother thinks
The road is straight and fine
Little darling thinks
The road is soft and lovely
I'm thankful that old road
Is a friend of mine"
Everyone around me has their opinions but it's my life to live.
(Chorus)
In the third verse
"Bid the years good-bye
You cannot still them
You cannot turn
The circles of the sun
You cannot count the miles
Until you feel them
And you cannot hold
A lover that has gone"
Sometimes that's just how life is, it is hard on you.
(Chorus)
It's tough but I'll make it through this one soon.
Final verse.
"Tomorrow the mountains
Will be sleeping
Silent 'neath a blanket
Green and blue
All that I shall hear
The silence they are keeping
I'll bring all their promises to you"
Sometimes life is pretty and it reminds me of you.
