Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.



Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;

Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;

My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the west.



The sun will shine in my back door someday;

The sun will shine in my back door someday;

March winds will blow all my troubles away.



I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;

I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;

I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.



I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;

I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;

Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.
