Jones 09/22/2007) (song#4998) My boots are worn on Broadway And cold is felt down in my toes But it's warm down in my heart For a place that I love so My cowboy hands are blistered From these bricks that I carry How I'd love to rope a cow Back on that ol' wide prairie Had I the chance to wander These cowboy boots would not fail To hurry over yonder By the Goodnight-Loving Trail I was a cowboy restless And my mind I had to ease Dreaming of far flung places That always had beckoned me Oh yes, I made some money That was the name of the game But just what good is Broadway Nobody even knows my name If I could just have my say I'd beg you hear my sad tale Two thousand miles far away Is the Goodnight-Loving Trail There's a cowgirl back at home And she used to ride with me Eyes are soft and beautiful Like moonlight on the sea Her name is Bonnie Lynn Jones And she wonders where I've gone By the Goodnight-Loving Trail I left her there all alone She cried the day I left her And her face got mighty pale I'm going back to see her By the Goodnight-Loving Trail The Gentle Side Of Me (Larry W.

Jones 09/22/2007) (song#5000) From east to west, coast to coast, night and day See the rollin' of big wheels on their way Diesel hummin' to the engineer's command The Canadian Pacific is rolling across the land She's the pride of Canada as she flies From Montreal across the Great Divide By Lake Louise and through great deserts dry Watch as the Canadian Pacific goes rollin' by The Canadian Pacific goes rollin' down the track Five thousand miles she rolls out to the coast and back Five thousand miles to roll, five thousand miles to go Five thousand miles she rolls out to the coast and back - instrumental - Beside the line, a cowboy, in a battered Stetson hat Farther along, a housewife, hangs clothes on a line out back They both pause to see a special train as she fairly flies Watch as the Canadian Pacific goes rollin' by Hear her whistle blowin' neath Canadian stars at night Saluting all who crosses and for those who built the track Remember all the coolies and others who spent their prime So the Canadian gets to the Pacific on time The Canadian Pacific goes rollin' down the track Five thousand miles she rolls out to the coast and back Five thousand miles to roll, five thousand miles to go Five thousand miles she rolls out to the coast and back Watch as the Canadian Pacific goes rollin' by |
