The Goodnight Loving Trail
[Verse 1]
Too old to wrangle or ride in the swing
You beat that triangle, you curse everything
If dirt was a kingdom then you'd be the king
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 2]
With your snake-oils and herbs and your liniment too
You can do anything that a doctor can do
Except find a cure for your own goddamned stew
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Gеt in there and blow out the light
[Verse 3]
Thе cook fires are all out and the coffee's all gone
The boys are all up and they're raisin' the dawn
And you're still sittin' there lost in a song
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 4]
Well, I know that someday I'll be just the same
Wearing an apron instead of a name
And no one can change it and no one's to blame
[Verse 5]
'Cause the desert's a book wrote in lizards and sage
It's easy to look like a torn out old page
All faded and cracked with the colors of age
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
Too old to wrangle or ride in the swing
You beat that triangle, you curse everything
If dirt was a kingdom then you'd be the king
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light
[Verse 2]
With your snake-oils and herbs and your liniment too
You can do anything that a doctor can do
Except find a cure for your own goddamned stew
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Gеt in there and blow out the light
[Verse 3]
Thе cook fires are all out and the coffee's all gone
The boys are all up and they're raisin' the dawn
And you're still sittin' there lost in a song
[Chorus]
On the Goodnight trail, on the Loving trail
Our "old woman's" lonesome tonight
Your French harp blows like a lone bawlin' calf
It's a wonder the wind don't tear off your skin
Get in there and blow out the light

Well, I know that someday I'll be just the same
