Tonopah Lyrics by Dave Stamey

Tonopah

1999

I carry my saddle
By the side of the road
Hard rains fallin'
Wind blowin' cold
East across the mountains here Nevada sings
Tellin' me it's time to hurry home
And I'd fly there now if I had wings
Go soaring back to Tonopah
Headlight glowin'
The cars hurry past
Just like the years
Are flowin' so fast
If I can get there I know I'll be warm
The ackin' in my bones will soon be gone
I fear the darkness of this coming storm
And I journey back to Tonopah
Oo oo, oh the night is fallin'
Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'
Hot dry and wind blown country callin' me
Out where those shadows run so tall
Hot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' me
Callin' me back to Tonopah
Thеre I was young
There I was bravе
There was a warm kiss waitin'
At the end of the day
Every thing I wanted I left waitin' there
Now I see the things I never saw
My dreams are shattered now and no one cares
So I'm goin' back to Tonopah
Oo oo, oh the night is fallin'
Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'
Hot dry and wind blown country callin' me
Out where those shadows run so tall
Hot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' me
Callin' me back to Tonopah
If I can reach the desert I know I'll be young again
I'll touch my woman's face
And things will be as they were then
Bad horses work and whiskey
Have left me tired and sore
And I got no use for wanderin' any more
I turn up my collar
Turn my face to the wind
Trucks run the line
Seems my chances are slim (of getting a ride)
East across the mountains here Nevada sings
Tellin' me it's time to hurry home
I pick up my saddle and head for all the things
I left waiting there in Tonopah
Oo oo, oh the night is fallin'
Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'
Hot dry and wind blown country callin' me
Out where those shadows run so tall
Hot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' to me
Callin' me back to Tonopah
