Away Out There (Album Version) - Bob Wills

A lonely spot

I know where no man will go

Where the shadows have all the room

I was ridin' free on the 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

A left and everywhere

All I could see was a cactus tree

Prairie dog playing there

I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed

That's his home way out there

Then I threw down my load in the desert road

Rested my weary legs too

I watched the sinking sun

Make the tall shadows run

Across that barren plain

Then I hummed a tune to the risin' moon

He gets lonesome way out there

Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies

Lost myself in dreams

Dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land

Then I woke up with a start

There the train comin' back on that one way track

Gonna take me away from here
