Flatland Cavalry Gone
[Verse 1]
Well I got drunk with buds in Dublin
And I've been sober in October
I wandered through the darkness
Stuck around to greet the dawn
Sank low down in New Orleans
Chased them clouds in Colorado
Blowing like the wind
I've been gone
[Chorus]
Like you ain't ever seen
Far and wide and in between
Living out an outlaw cowboy song
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone
[Verse 2]
In my mind I'm just a drifter
A traveler, a visitor
Turning over miles, turning pages, turning stones
Spurring late night conversation
Other worldly obsеrvations
By the time I make somе sense of it
I'll be moving on
[Chorus]
Like you ain't ever seen
Far and wide and in between
Chasing after dreams, right or wrong
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone
[Bridge]
And when they call my number
To the gatherin' of goners
I'll wear my rambler's smile with honor
And waltz into the great beyond
[Chorus]
Like you ain't ever seen
Far and wide and in between
Living out a gospel cowboy song
It's a heavy price to pay
I'll make light of it some day
With a tale to tell for each one I've been gone
[Outro]
Got a tale to tell for each one I've been gone
