Ranches and Rivers
In the cool of the eveningShe calls me to dance.My back's about broken.From choppin' the plantsMy soul is so thirsty,I can't sleep at nightShe walks in my dreamsand brings me delightI was born to the workersTo toil and to strifeMy father before meHe worked all his lifeHe took nothing for grantedHe said son never bendThis heart that's been brokenOnly her love can mendSome men could give youRanches and RiversWith fences of Barbed WireTo keep out the coldBut me, I got nothin'No Titles to nothin'Just a Love and a FireMore Precious than goldLetras de cancionesYour daddy works me in the groundHe knows something's goin' downWill you pack your things and ride with me?Tomorrow at sunrise,With the dew on the cotton,They cut loose the watchdogsWhen they see that we're goneThe smile of my sweet oneAsleep on the car seatTen miles to the borderWhere we will be free
