[Verse 1: Lorrie:]
She felt the cold and the prairie wind chill her to the bone
Through the Oklahoma dust, before there was a road
Determination on her face and aching in her feet
With all hope gone, she still walked on into history
[Chorus: Lorrie:]
She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I
[Verse 2: Lorrie:]
Mama tells the story, how she watched it on TV
Jackie, John and Caroline and a nation on it's knees
Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black
Jackie walked beside him though he's not coming back
[Chorus: Lorrie:]
She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I
[Verse 3: Lorrie:]
Jesse's calling from the street, 'Oh Mommy, please come and see'
A Radio Flyer, fire red, 'Mommy please pull me'
I've been working overtime for a day just like today
Making sure that Jesse knows he can always say
[Chorus: Jesse Keith Whitley]
"She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I"
[Tag: Both]
So can I, so can I
