On the back side of the desert just tending sheep
Livin’ day to day
Always hopin’ someday, somehow, someway,
To do something really ‘mportant, you know?
Gets awful dry and hot sometimes out here
Winter’s not much differ’nt, just colder
Yep, just spending time out here gettin’ older.
Awful lonely at times, you know?
Got a toothache while on the mountain.
Long way to town, and in the rain.
Talk about pain upon pain
When the medicatin wore off, you know?
I’d try to get another job but nobody’ll hire
An old coot with his old way of doin’
An I’m not ‘bout to go ‘round foolin’
Folks about who I am, you know?
Get mighty tired sometime of that sheep smell
(Folks probly get tired of mine too)
Speshly when after its wet, woo!
Never did get use that, you know?
There are times though when it’s worth it all
‘Cause you know sometime on a dark night
When everything gets really quiet
The heavens start talkin’, you know?
You know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout, right?
When there ain’t nothin’ but you and God
Your heart gets took up off’n this here sod
That’s the place I’m awantin’ to stay, you know?
Well you know, been good talkin’ to ya
Hope to see ya now and then
Shur good to sit a spell withn’ a friend
Make shur your asayin’ your praers. Gotta go.
