"Elko"
( l y r i c s )
It was Elko, two years ago,
I bought a beer and was just a sittin there
At the curb.
Been working for a while on a small family ranch,
I was happy as hell they gave a girl a chance

Dreamed of working on the YP and the IL
ILs gone now but Ill keep dreaming anyhow.
Now Im sitting here wondering what to do
Wishing highway 80 would take me on back to you.

Chorus
Sitting by myself, at the side of the road
Just sitting here, on a dusty bed-roll.
Looking for a job
Searching for the life I left behind, so long ago.
Im recalling my life, here in Elko

Its winter now, Im living the line shack blues.
But weve talked on headquarters phone, decided well see each other soon.
So we met at the Star, and talked over how our lives were coming so far
But it turns out youre leaving cattle country, and I just cant go with you.
The home place is calling my name and theres still a lot work to do.

Chorus
Sitting by myself, at the side of the road
Just sitting here, on a dusty bedroll.
Looking for a job
Searching for the life I left behind, so long ago.
Looking forward to the rest of my life
Here in Elko
