Way out There - Roy Rogers

A lonely spot, I know where no man will go Where the shadows have all the room

I was ridin' free on the old SP

Humming a southern tune

When a man came along made me hush my song

Kicked me off, way out there

As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right

A left and everywhere

But all I could see was a cactus tree

And a prairie dog playing there

I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed

That’s his home, way out there

So I threw down my load in the desert road

Rested my weary legs too

I watched the sinking sun, make the tall shadows run

Out across that barren plain

Then I hummed a tune to the risin' moon

He gets lonesome way out there

So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies

And lost myself in dreams

I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land

Then I awoke with a start

There the train comin' back on that one way track

Gonna take me away from here

As she was passin' by, I caught her on the fly

I climbed in an open door

Then I turned around to that desert ground

Saw the spot I would see no more

As I was ridin' away

I heard the pale moon say

Farewell pal

It sure gets lonesome here
