Lyrics

There’s no stronger wind than the one
that blows, down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than the looking back, on a town you’ve left behind
There’s nothing that’s as real, as a love that’s in my mind
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile …

There’s a lots of things along a road I’d surely like to see
I’d like to lean into the wind to tell myself I’m free
But your softness whispers louder, than the highways called to me
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile …

All the mountains and the rivers and the valleys can’t compare
To your blue lit dancin’ eyes, yellow shinnin’ hands
I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin’ there
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile …

Lay your head back easy love, close your cryin’ eyes
I’ll be layin’ here beside you, when the sun comes on the rise
I’ll stay as long as a coo-coo wails, and the lonesome Bluetick cries
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile
