Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Charlie Mccoy - Long thin dawn ------------------------------------------ That long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again I've seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal In every town I've been to I've had someone to call From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul I've had so many good friends I couldn't miss them all And that long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow-capped ridge I thought about my darlin' as I stood beneath the bridge And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she's learned That any time I've wandered I always have returned And that long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill And that long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again While climbin' up a hillside, Bill drops 'er down a gear And the engine sings so sweetly 'tis music to my ear I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can Drivin' like the restless wind across this precious land Says Bill "the air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar "And if this rig keeps rollin', my boy you'll travel far But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by" And that long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again That long thin dawn That long thin dawn Is comin' on again
