While I was out a-ridin'
The graveyard shift, midnight till dawn
The moon was as bright as a reading light
For a letter from an old friend back home
And he asked me
Why do you ride for your money?
And why do you rope for short pay?
You ain't gettin' nowhere
And you're losin' your share
Oh, you musta gone crazy out there
He said last night I ran into Ginny
They married and have a good life
Oh, you sure missed the track when you never came back
She made the perfect professional's wife
And she asked me
Why do you ride for your money?
And why do you rope for short pay?
You ain't gettin' nowhere
And you're losin' your share
Oh, you musta gone crazy out there
But they've never seen the Northern Lights
They've never seen a hawk on the wing
They've never seen the spring hit the Great Divide
And they never heard old Camp Cookie sing
The graveyard shift, midnight till dawn
