[Chorus] I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone Going to miss your baby, from rolling in your arms [Verse 1] Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest Laid down last night, Lord, I could not take my rest My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the West [Verse 2] The sun will shine in my back door someday The sun will shine in my back door someday March winds will blow all my troubles away
I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train I wish I was a headlight, on a northbound train I'd shine my light through cool Colorado rain [Chorus] I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone Going to miss your baby, from rolling in your arms [Outro] I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone I know you, rider, going to miss me when I'm gone Going to miss your baby, from rolling in your arms
