Lyrics
Verse 1:
Days after days, the weeks seem like years
Oh that blue sky looks so young
My eyes half open, my heart come undone
Sing a new whiskey sweet lullaby
My steps are heavy, feet married the ground
Left home must be ten years ago
Now I ride Colorado up Wyoming way
It feels like I been letting go
Chorus:
And it?s a long night, and an overtime day
Just get me off of this land
I?ve gone mile for mile, it feels like I?ve died
Left a ninety proof shell of a man
Verse 2:
It?s all alone on the overnight plain
Move sun ?cross the sky day begin
My saddles grown cold over ten county lines
Sing a whiskey sweet song once again
Down past the crossroads of forty long years
A young man trades his coat of gold
For the lines down his face, and a heartache or two
The pains of a man who grew old
Chorus:
And it?s a long night and an overtime day
Just get me off of this land
I?ve gone mile for mile, it feels like I?ve died
Left a ninety proof shell of a man
Bridge:
Fall down past the eyes of the trail
Settle in the rain and the mud
After seventeen days of ?a runnin? me down
There?s a misty moon shroud on my eyes
Chorus (2X):
And it?s a long night and an overtime day
Just get me off of this land
I?ve gone mile for mile, it feels like I?ve died
Left a ninety proof shell of a man
Left a ninety proof shell of a man
