rolling down this prairie road

rolling down this prairie rd

with a dusty feeling in my soul

i may never make it home

hours and days pass me by

i'm so dry i cant even cry

except for the moon i'm alone

natually my worst mistake

was to head this desert waste

thinking it would be all so easy

i'm just a young forty niner

i'm just looking to cut some corners

gold waits for those who are lucky

when night comes i kneel and pray

god dont let me die this way

save me i wont go wrong

i'll make myself a better man

i'll work as hard as i can

give up all the wine women and song
