0:17When the hot September sun down in Texas
0:24Sucked the streams bone dry
0:28Turned to roads to dust
0:33In the sleepy little towns down in Texas
0:40The shades are all pulled down;
0:43The streets are all rolled up
0:51The only thing that breaks the silence
0:55Are the trucks a-passin' by
0:59Late at night on the front porch swing
1:02You can hear their mournful sigh
1:10And the lonesome whippoorwill cries to the stars above
1:18He was callin' out for his lady love
1:25She's been gone so long
1:39I was just talkin' to the moon
1:43Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over
1:54The memory of you too hard to hold
2:08And the wind across the plains
2:15Is all that now remains
2:22You know the night shakes loose the names
2:29But they never quite go back the way they came
2:54So goodbye rodeo
3:00It's a long funny way for men to go
3:10Never change
3:13Never change at all
3:20I was just talkin' to the moon
3:26Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over
3:36The memory of you too hard to hold on
3:49I was just talkin' to the moon
3:53Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over
4:04Memory of you
When the hot September sun down in Texas Sucked the streams bone dry Turned to roads to dust In the sleepy little towns down in Texas The shades are all pulled down; The streets are all rolled up The only thing that breaks the silence Are the trucks a-passin' by Late at night on the front porch swing You can hear their mournful sigh And the lonesome whippoorwill cries to the stars above He was callin' out for his lady love She's been gone so long I was just talkin' to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over The memory of you too hard to hold And the wind across the plains Is all that now remains You know the night shakes loose the names But they never quite go back the way they came So goodbye rodeo It's a long funny way for men to go Never change Never change at all I was just talkin' to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over The memory of you too hard to hold on I was just talkin' to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over Memory of you
