Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I cannot wait for dawn to break
I must be on my way
Before I pass this way again
Be many a dark, dark day
[Verse 2]
The sheriff does not know my face
He does not know my name
But before the sun goes down again
He'll know them just the same
[Verse 3]
One kiss before I leave you
And one more for the wind
Every day, I hope and pray
To be with you again
[Verse 4]
Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold
Who's chances would you choose?
The judge and jury close their eyes
And justice don't come true
[Verse 5]
I'll run from what I haven't done
'Cause the long arm of the law
Has got a silver spade that'll dig my grave
In Fort Smith, Arkansas
[Verse 6]
One kiss before I leave you
And one more for the wind
Every day, I hope and pray
To be with you again
[Verse 7]
Down along the railroad tracks
Waitin' in the weeds
The first freight train to leave the yard
Will be the one for me
[Verse 8]
I'll find a place on a boxcar roof
Where the wind cuts cold and deep
I don't need no railroad man
To catch me in my sleep
[Verse 9]
One kiss before I leave you
And one more for the wind
Every day, I hope and pray
To be with you again
To be with you again
