There's no stronger wind than the one that blows

down a lonesome railroad line

No prettier sight than looking back

on a town you left behind

There is nothin' that's as real

as a love that's in my mind





Close your eyes

I'll be here in the morning

close your eyes

I'll be here for a while





There's lots of things along the road

I'd surely like to see

I'd like to lean into the wind

and tell myself I'm free

but your softest whisper's louder

than the highways call to me





All the mountains and the rivers

and the valleys can't compare

to your blue lit dancin' eyes

and yellow shining hair

I could never hit the open road

and leave you layin' there





Lay your head back easy, love,

close your cryin' eyes

I'll be layin' here beside you

when the sun comes on the rise

I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails

and the lonesome bluejay cries.
