Artist/Band: Chris LeDoux
Lyrics for Song: Night Rider's Lament
Lyrics for Album: Cowboys Ain't Easy To Love / Paint Me Back Home In Wyoming [2007]



While I was out a ridin' the grave yard shift midnight till dawn

The moon was bright as a readin' 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 a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share

Boy you must have gone crazy out there



He said last night he runnin' to Jenny she's married and has a good life

And boy you sure missed the track when you never come back

She's the perfect professional's wife

And she asked him why does he ride for his money

And tell me why does he rope for short pay

He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share

Well he must've gone crazy out there



Ah but they've never seen the Northern Lights

They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing

They've never spent spring on the Great Divide

And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing

Well I read up the last of my letter and tore off the stamp for black Jim

And when Billy rode up to relieve me he just looked at my letter and grinned

He said you know I wonder why do they ride for their money

Tell me why do they ride for short pay

They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're loosin' their share

Son, they all must be crazy out there

They ain't never seen the Northern Lights

They ain't never seen a hawk on the wing

They've never spent spring on the Great Divide

And they've never heard ole camp cookie sing
