Well you crossed the border in '59,
You left your family, your love in behind,
And they say that love is the water that keeps you strong,
Well i know that i've been thirsting for you for too long,
You picked it up, and traveled down
You've seen the sun rise over this town
You gave me a smile and you told the truth
Well i know not what i can expect from you,
A lonely ride through a quiet town,
A solemn soul whose tales are old and they show their shrouds,
I, well, i know not what i can expect from you,
With leathered skin, pales eyes of blue,
A smile that shines high above two worn out boots,
I, well, i know not what i can expect from you,
Well i know not what i can expect from you,
you told me you'd hold me and i watched you go your way,
You picked it up, you traveled down,
You seen the sun rise over this town.
