To Be With You Again

I cannot wait for dawn to break



I must be on my way



Before I pass this way again



Be many a dog, dog days



The sheriff does not know my face



He does not know my name



But before the sun goes down again



He'll know them just the same



One kiss before I leave you



And one more for the wind



Every day I hope and pray



To be with you again



With the poor man's word and a rich man's gold



Who's chances would you choose?



The judge and jury close their eyes



And justice don't come through



I'll run from what I haven't done



'Cause the long arm of the law



Got a silver spade that'll dig my grave



Before on us all



One kiss before I leave you



And one more for the wind



Every day I hope and pray



To be with you again



Down along the railroad tracks



Waitin' in the weeds



The first freight train to the leave the yard



Will be the one I'm in



I'll find a place on the boxcar roof



Where the wind cuts cold and deep



I don't know need no railroad man



To catch me in my sleep



One kiss before I leave you



And one more for the wind



Every day I hope and pray



To be with you again



To be with you again
