That's when I saw him hauled away his own Singing songs about the west Next thing he's falling Falling down again Laughing about the things we said And all this time I'm humming songs about the great divide But never knowing falling Up on the road now Go down through the hills Mighty wind won't take us down Suddenly calling, calling back again No to join our little town And I've seen rivers shine And I've been taking back before The Rio Grande is rising I could be right If I think someone's fight I could be wrong and unbelieving That's enough to know now Keep your head down low now
Take that time Oh, but never mind Oh oh oh oh oh Oh de doe doe Now it gets colder here at night But the stars will give us light As we huddle around the fire Thinking all that we're a choir Then we'll shine across the land Taking hopeless in our hands Where the mountains meet the forest On the road that lies before us And all this time I'm humming songs about the great divide But never knowing fully I could be right If I think someone's fight I could be wrong and unbelieving That's enough to know now Keep your head down low now Take that time Oh, but never mind
