Intro
1. By the way you watch the sunset I can tell
Soon you'll saddle up that ole strawberry roan
Bid goodbye to the goodnight loving trail
And set off to blaze a new trail of your own
I know you'll travel light, like you always do
But you'll always take a part of me with you
Here's Hopin', there's an open road before you
Here's Hopin', that your aim is always true
And when you're trying to outrun that setting sun
Here's hopin' that you do
2. I know you'll try to hold to higher ground
And stay one day ahead of the storm
But when a northern blows and the rain keeps pouring down
May you find a place to keep you safe and warm
They say every cowboy finds a home somewhere
But friend until your travels take you there
go to chorus then tag
If the trail looks bad you need to double back
Here's hopin' that you do
