Gordon Lightfoot - Long Thin Dawn lyrics
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 sawGordon Lightfoot - Long Thin Dawn - http://motolyrics.com/gordon-lightfoot/long-thin-dawn-lyrics.html
 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
