Long Thin Dawn

Intro: That long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again verse 1: 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 That long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again verse 2: Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow  capped ridge   I thought about my darling 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 In that long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again verse 3: 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 In that long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again verse 4: While climbing up a hillside Bill drops her 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   Driving like the restless wind across this precious land In that long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again VERSE 5: Says Bill "The air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar   "And if this rig keeps rolling 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" In that long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again That long thin dawn   That long thin dawn   Is coming on again
