《Night Rider’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Night Rider's Lament - Chris Ledoux

[00:00:40] While I was out

[00:00:43] A ridin'

[00:00:45] The grave yard shift midnight till dawn

[00:00:49] The moon was as bright as a readin' light

[00:00:54] For a letter from an old friend back home

[00:00:59] And he asked me

[00:01:01] Why do you ride for your money

[00:01:06] Why do you rope for short pay

[00:01:10] You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share

[00:01:18] You must have gone crazy out there

[00:01:25] Tells me last night he run on to Jenny

[00:01:30] She's married and has a good life

[00:01:34] Boy you sure missed the track when you never come back

[00:01:38] She's the perfect professional's wife

[00:01:44] And she asked him

[00:01:45] Why does he ride for his money

[00:01:50] Why does he rope for short pay

[00:01:54] He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share

[00:02:02] Well he must've gone crazy out there

[00:02:08] But they ain't never seen the northern lights

[00:02:14] They've never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:02:18] They've never seen spring at the great divide

[00:02:26] They've never heard ole camp cookie sing

[00:02:33] Well I read up the last of my letter

[00:02:38] Tore off the stamp for black Jim

[00:02:42] Bill he rode up to relieve me

[00:02:46] He just looked at my letter and grinned

[00:02:52] He said you know I wonder

[00:02:53] Why do they ride for their money

[00:02:58] Why do they ride for short pay

[00:03:02] They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share

[00:03:10] They all must be crazy back there

[00:03:16] 'Cause They ain't never seen the northern lights

[00:03:21] They've never seen a hawk on the wing

[00:03:26] They've never seen spring hit the great divide

[00:03:34] They've never heard ole camp cookie sing
