I've spent a good while killing time
Been a miner for a heart of gold
Just trying to make my way
I've spent a whole life running wild
Never thought of getting old
Do I settle down one of these days?

Goodnight I'll be on my way
It's been a good ride, but I can not stay long
Take me home

Another state line rolling by
Past the farms and the water holes
I need a good place to rest my head
It's been hard times getting by
Money don't come and go
Hear the wise words that my old man said

Goodnight I'll be on my way
It's been a good ride, but I can not stay long
