Tracks

Sam, won’t you please take me
West to wyoming, down the valley?

Can we go and never come back?
Let the dust rise up and cover our tracks

When you feel like you know everyone you meet
And you’re walking up and down the same old street

When the salt starts to lose its taste, you better find yourself in another place
You can hang tight but not too long, dream all night and in the morning it’s gone

Just how long, how long will you wait?
And what more, what more can you take?

Sam, won’t you please take me
West to wyoming, down the valley?

Can we go and never come back?
Let the dust rise up and cover our tracks

What doesn’t seem right isn’t always wrong
If the law is the light, I’ll honor the dawn
He got down on a knee, said “be patient, please.”
Peter said, “yes, but you gotta’ do the same for me.”
You can buy it, but they made it to break
It gets harder telling the real from the fake

So, spark a lucky strike, watch the smoke fade
This storm will blow away your hit parade

Sam, won’t you please take me
West to wyoming, down the valley?
Can we go and never come back?
Let the dust rise up and cover our tracks

There’s a girl who someday I’ll meet
She has jewels on her hands, and dirt on her feet. And, she promised a prayer for me, if I ever make it back to milwaukee

Sam, won’t you please take me
West to wyoming, down the valley?
Can we go and never come back?
Let the dust rise up and cover our tracks
