| "Elko" | |
| 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 | |
