By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell
Soon you'll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan
Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail
And set off to blaze a new trail of your ownI know you'll travel light, like you always do
But you'll always take a part of me with youHere's hopin' there's an open road before you
Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun
Here's hopin' that you doI know you'll try to hold to higher ground
And stay one day ahead of the storm
But when another blows and the rain keeps pouring down
May you find a place to keep you safe and warmThey say, every cowboy finds a home, somewhere
But friend, until your travels take you thereHere's hopin' there's an open road before you
Here's hopin' that your aim is always true
And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun
Here's hopin' that you doIf the trail looks bad and you need to double back
Here's hopin' that you do
