The dust my horse kicked up Has settled on the trail
The only light is the fire from my camp
The moons a quarter full And star all abound
The only sound is crickets and the owls

And somewhere far away there sleeps a lady
In a town she removed her fancy gown
Takes off her lipstick and rouge cause tonight she sleeps alone
This morning I left there to find my way back home

I let the fire burn all night To keep animals away
And I think about the town I just left behind
That city life is fine for some but not for me
Fast living and fast woman is not my style

Somewhere far away there sleeps MY lady
On a farm she removes her jeans and blouse
Takes the ribbons that tie her hair lays them gently on the bed
Tonight she got my message that Im on my way back home

Two years and three months its been Since I left my home
And I wonder why I ever left at all
But in my youth I was searching For the golden stars
All I needed is waiting for me home
Thought I'b be going home with my pockets filled with gold
guess I'd be wronged again
this old horse sure knows that I'm stubborn as a mule
I learn the hard way every time.

Somewhere far away there sleeps my lady
She dreams about a man alone on a trail
As fire burns down low and the time she spent alone
Theres a smile in her eyes cause at last Im coming home

Somewhere far away there sleeps my lady
Just waiting to hold her man once again
And I try to apologies and she just hush me up inside

Theres a smile in her eyes cause at last Im coming home 2x
