Story Behind The Song

I just wanted to try and write a cowboy style song. I wanted to compose a melody that sounded like a horses hooves.

Song Description

I'm not usually drawn to cowboy songs but that didn't stop me from wanting to write one

Lyrics

The road's just a scratch on the desert
The moon's just a ball in the sky
And I'll get through these mountains
By and by

Ten weeks I've been workin'
And I'm tired to the bone
Out there on the plains
So far from home

One more night until I see my baby
I'll just keep on ridin' till the dawn
Leavin' all the dust and dirt behind me
Headin' for the place where I belong

I've sat sippin my whisky
Talked to the flames in the fire
Wild dogs howlin',
Sounds like my desire

Tonight I won't be stoppin'
I'll rest when I get there
In my baby's arms
Without a care

One more night until I see my baby
I'll just keep on ridin' till the dawn
Leavin' all the dust and dirt behind me
Headin' for the place where I belong

I can't wait for the sweetness
That'll greet me at my door
A picture that reminds me
What I'm ridin' for

Until then I will dream of the kisses
She'll give when I get home
One for every day
That I've been gone

One more night until I see my baby
I'll just keep on ridin' till the dawn
Leavin' all the dust and dirt behind me
Headin' for the place where I belong

One more night until I see my baby
I'll just keep on ridin' till the dawn
Leavin' all the dust and dirt behind me
Headin' for the place where I belong
