  • Chris LeDoux Night Rider's Lament Lyrics

           

    While I was out a ridin'

    the grave yard shift midnight till dawn

    The moon was bright as a readin' light

    for a letter from an old friend back home

    And he asked me



    Why do you ride for your money

    Why do you rope for short pay

    You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share

    You must have gone crazy out there



    Tells me last night he run on to Jenny

    She's married and has a good life

    Boy you sure missed the track when you never come back

    She's the perfect professional's wife

    And she asked him



    Why does he ride for his money

    Why does he rope for short pay

    He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share

    Well he must've gone crazy out there



    But they aint never seen the Northern Lights

    They've never seen a hawk on the wing

    They've never seen spring on the Great Divide

    They've never heard ole camp cookie sing



    Well I read up the last of my letter

    Tore off the stamp for black Jim

    Bill he rode up to relieve me

    He just looked at my letter and grinned

    He said you know I wonder



    Why do they ride for their money

    Why do they ride for short pay

    They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share

    They all must be crazy back there



    Cause They ain't never seen the Northern Lights

    They've never seen a hawk on the wing

    They've never seen spring hit the Great Divide

    They've never heard ole camp cookie sing
