Testo I Had My Hopes Up High - Joe Ely

Testo della canzone I Had My Hopes Up High (Joe Ely), tratta dall'album Texans - Live from Mountain Stage

Well I left my home out on the great high plains

Headed for some new terrain

Standing on the highway with my coffee cup

Wondering who was gonna pick me up

I had my hopes up high, I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

I had my hopes up high

Well, the first shot I got was in a dynamite truck

The driver kept me telling me his bad luck

As we swerved around the curves I began to shout

I said, hey-ey mister would you let me out?

I had my hopes up high, I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

I had my hopes up high

Oh, common stand

And the next ride I got was with a man in trouble

The beard on his face was all in a stubble

Running from the law he was going ninety-nine

And hey-ey mister you're out of your mind

I had my hopes up high, I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye

I had my hopes up high

And the next ride I got was with a preacher man

Told me that the wicked would be buried in sand

Don't know why I did it but I lost control

I said, oh papa would you save my soul

I had my hopes up high, I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

I had my hopes up high

And I finally got a ride on a carnival train

Nearly blew away in a hurricane

I got to thinking 'bout the preacher down in Louisiana

I'm sitting in the delta sifting sand

I had my hopes up high, I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

I had my hopes up high

I never thought that I

Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

I had my hopes up high
