Testo Ranches and Rivers - Joe Ely
Testo della canzone Ranches and Rivers (Joe Ely), tratta dall'album The Definitive Collection
In the cool of the evening she calls me to dance
My back's about broken from chopping the plants
My soul is so thirsty, I can't sleep at night
She walks in my dreams and brings me delight
I was born to the workers to toil and to strive
My father before me, he worked all his life
He took nothing for granted, he said "Son, never bend"
This heart that's been broken, only her love can mend
Some men can give you ranches and rivers
With fences of barbed wire to keep out the cold
But me, I got nothing, no titles to nothing
Just a love and a fire more precious than gold
Your daddy works me in the ground
He knows something's going down
Would you pack your things and run with me?
Tomorrow at sunrise with the dew on the cotton
They'll cut loose the watchdogs when they see that we're gone
I smile at my sweet one asleep on the car seat
Ten miles to the border where we will be free
Some men can give you ranches and rivers
With fences of barbed wire to keep out the cold
But me, I got nothing, no titles to nothing
Just a love and a fire more precious than gold
