i miss my mama
i miss my dad
i miss my brother
oh i miss em bad
i miss my house
i miss my wife
most of all i think i missed what i used
to call my life
before this all got crazy
before i lost all control
before it felt like someone tied my soul up
to the whipping pole
there's a hole in the bottom
of my cowboy shoes
it's been raining here all evening
i got the lonesome north platte blues
it's raining buckets now
the crowds are gone
my feet are muddy
and i'm alone
i start to tremble
and i almost pray
lord let this roll on by
and bring me some sunny day
(chorus)
it's been raining here all evening
i got the lonesome north platte blues
