By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell Soon you'll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail And set off to blaze a new trail of your own I know you'll travel light, like you always do But you'll always take a part of me with you Here's hopin' there's an open road before you Here's hopin' that your aim is always true And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun Here's hopin' that you do I know you'll try to hold to higher ground And stay one day ahead of the storm But when another blows and the rain keeps pouring down May you find a place to keep you safe and warm They say, every cowboy finds a home, somewhere But friend, until your travels take you there Here's hopin' there's an open road before you Here's hopin' that your aim is always true And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun Here's hopin' that you do If the trail looks bad and you need to double back Here's hopin' that you do
