I've
seen
the hills of Frisco and the (G) streets
of Montre(D)al
In every
town I've been to I've (E7) had
someone to (A7) call
From
(D) Winnipeg to Edmonton, Van(G)couver
to St. (D) Paul
I've had
so many good friends I (G) couldn't
miss them (A) all
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
Last
night
I came to Denver beneath the snowcapped ridge
I thought
about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge
And there
were times I made her cry but I guess by now she's learned
That any
time I've wandered I always have returned
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
Right
now
I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
Riding
shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty
tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the
way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
While
climbing
up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear
And the
engine sings so sweetly 'tis music to my ear
I tell
him how I long to be just like him if I can
Driving
like the restless wind across this precious land
In that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
Says
Bill,
"The air is clean tonight," as he puffs a big cigar
"And if
this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far
But when
you are a trucker you'll come to realize
The only
thing a man can do is watch the world go by"
In
that
long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
That long
thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
