Under the rain readjust my slicker
hope the storm don't come down any thicker
all day dust clouds fly
now it's mud and water
which way is up?
keeping watch over you
gonna have to ride on through
ride through
all the dark until light too
got no choice
keep on moving
what I would give for just a word
smell the campfire smoking
moon rising
still riding night herd
***********
mid of night maybe a little later
I still love her
I can't seem to hate her
it's my job but I'm
never gonna like it
which way's down?
keep the doegies safe
all I can do is just wait
just wait
through the black until morning
got no choice just a warning
of the sound of mockingbirds
cold and rain and I'm choking
it's my life
still riding
night herd
