Gordon Lightfoot - Long Thin Dawn Lyrics
That long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on againIve seen the hills of frisco and the streets of montrealIn every town Ive been to Ive had someone to callFrom winnipeg to edmonton, vancouver to st. paulIve had so many good friends I couldnt miss them allAnd that long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on againLast night I came to denver beneath the snow-capped ridgeI thought about my darlin as I stood beneath the bridgeAnd there were times I made her cry but I guess by now shes learnedThat any time Ive wandered I always have returnedAnd that long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on againRight now Im on a highway just east of omahaRiding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever sawWith forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as billAll the way to windsor, weve got some miles to killAnd that long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on againWhile climbin up a hillside, bill drops er down a gearAnd the engine sings so sweetly tis music to my earI tell him how I long to be just like him if I canDrivin like the restless wind across this precious landSays bill the air is clean tonight as he puffs a big cigarAnd if this rig keeps rollin, my boy youll travel farBut when you are a trucker youll come to realizeThe only thing a man can do is watch the world go byAnd that long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on againThat long thin dawnThat long thin dawnIs comin on again
