| Back home, a fire they keep
|
| Out here the cold wind blows
|
| I did not want to leave
|
| I wonder if she knows
|
| The first word she said to me was goodbye
|
| In the west the sky grows darker
|
| Back east the sun will rise
|
| Back home my wife and daughter
|
| Don’t know where I am tonight
|
| But soon I will find a road that leads home
|
| A man could die out here, they’d never know
|
| No longer will I walk among the ghosts
|
| Even though I left so long ago
|
| I got someone waiting back at home
|
| We got married down in Texas, Texas
|
| A little daughter of our own
|
| She doesn’t care about
|
| The cold wind that carried this song
|
| All that she knows right now
|
| Is that her father’s still gone
|
| The first word she learned to say was to say goodbye
|
| A man could die out here, they’d never know
|
| No longer will I walk among the ghosts
|
| Even though I left so long ago
|
| I got someone waiting back at home
|
| We got married down in Texas, Texas
|
| A little daughter of our own
|
| A man could die out here, they’d never know
|
| No longer will I walk among the ghosts
|
| Even though I left so long ago
|
| I got someone waiting back at home
|
| We got married down in Texas, Texas
|
| A little daughter of our own
|
| Life out here is getting reckless, reckless
|
| Better find my way back home
|
| We got married down in Texas, Texas
|
| Our little girl will soon be grown
|
| I can’t stay, I’m getting restless, restless
|
| You’re gonna have to let me go |
