Dave Stamey - Tonopah Lyrics
By the side of the roadHard rains fallin'Wind blowin' coldEast across the mountains here Nevada singsTellin' me it's time to hurry homeAnd I'd fly there now if I had wingsGo soaring back to TonopahHeadlight glowin'The cars hurry pastJust like the yearsAre flowin' so fastIf I can get there I know I'll be warmThe ackin' in my bones will soon be goneI fear the darkness of this coming stormAnd I journey back to TonopahOo oo, oh the night is fallin'Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'Hot dry and wind blown country callin' meOut where those shadows run so tallHot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' meCallin' me back to TonopahThere I was youngThere I was braveThere was a warm kiss waitin'At the end of the dayEvery thing I wanted I left waitin' thereNow I see the things I never sawMy dreams are shattered now and no one caresSo I'm goin' back to TonopahOo oo, oh the night is fallin'Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'Hot dry and wind blown country callin' meOut where those shadows run so tallHot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' meCallin' me back to TonopahIf I can reach the desert I know I'll be young againI'll touch my woman's faceAnd things will be as they were thenBad horses work and whiskeyHave left me tired and soreAnd I got no use for wanderin' any moreI turn up my collarTurn my face to the windTrucks run the lineSeems my chances are slim (of getting a ride)East across the mountains here Nevada singsTellin' me it's time to hurry homeI pick up my saddle and head for all the thingsI left waiting there in TonopahOo oo, oh the night is fallin'Oo oo, oh hear Nevada callin'Hot dry and wind blown country callin' meOut where those shadows run so tallHot dry and wind blown country I can hear you callin' to meCallin' me back to Tonopah
