High Plains

Rider out on the high plains

You've got no place to go

You don't want to showdown

No hiding, it's all sagebrush and stone

But I can't afford to run

Waiting for my day in the sun

Dig my feet in the mud

Looking for that good morning love

Thought I'd find some gold in these hills

But the cold winter rain is giving me chills

Cold wind blowing through the desert

So I keep my fire burning bright

Oh my dear, don't you tear I'll be back again

The sound of your voice it takes me back where I belong

Well the sun don't set and the sun don't rise

It's just a trick you play in your mind

I'll be rolling in her arms

But when Annabel's gone

The sun don't shine

It's like the clouds fight against the blue sky

Kin and cattle, soil and grain

Turn the earth and watch the seasons bring the rain

Thirty nine years in this cold dark place

So I'm trading these puddles for the blue sky

Oh my dear, don't you tear I'll be back again

The sound of your voice it takes me back where I belong

Well the sun don't set and the sun don't rise

It's just a trick you play in your mind

I'll be rolling in your arms

But when Annabel's home

The sun's gonna shine

When Annebel's home

Bright blue sky

Yeah, Annebel's home

The sun's gonna shine

Gonna Shine

Against the blue sky

But I can't afford to run

Waiting for my day in the sun

Dig my feet in the mud

Looking for that good morning love
