Ten thousand miles since I left my home,
West through the rockies and North through the storm
I left my darling in a good standing home,
went riding the highway, the unbroken horse
Darling, oh darling, will you stay by my side?
Lay down beside me and sleep through the night?
My bed has gone empty, the nights have grown cold
I’ve been sleeping without you, been sleeping alone
How many roads have you gone down?
How many times have you come through this town?
I will not grow lonely and old by myself
I will not be the woman of a wandering man
I dreamed of my darling as I lay down to rest
The grey on her temple put a fist through my chest
I woke to the morning and I faced it alone
I’ve been riding the highway, now I’m coming back home
How many roads have you gone down?
How many times have you come through this town?
I will not grow lonely and old by myself
I will not be the woman of a wandering man
Ten thousand miles since I left my home,
West through the rockies and North through the storm
I left my darling in a good standing home,
I’ve been riding the highway, now I’m coming back home
