Hank Snow Way Out There lyrics

(Way out there)
A lonely spot I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room
I was ridin' free on this 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, the left and everywhere

But all I could see was a cactus tree
And a prairie dog playin' 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
As she was passin' by I caught her on the fly
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"
(Way out here)
