To Be With You Again

I cannot wait for dawn to break

I must be on my way

Before I pass this way again

Be many a dark dark day

The sheriff does not know my face

He does not know my name

But before the sun goes down again

He'll know them just the same

One kiss before I leave you

And one more for the wind

Everyday I hope and pray

To be with you again

Between a poor man's word and a rich man's gold

Who's chances would you choose

The judge and jury close their eyes

And justice don't come true

I'll run from what I haven't done

Cause the long arm of the law

Has got a silver spade that'll dig my grave

In Fort Smith Arkansas

One kiss before I leave you

And one more for the wind

Everyday I hope and pray

To be with you again

Down along the railroad tracks

Waitin in the weeds

The first freight train to the leave the yard

Will be the one for me

I'll find a place on the box car roof

Where the wind cuts cold and deep

I don't know need no rail road man

To catch me in my sleep

One kiss before I leave you

And one more for the wind

Everyday I hope and pray

To be with you again
