Here's Hopin' - Kathy Mattea

By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell

Soon you’ll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan

Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail

And set off to blaze a new trail of your own

I know you’ll travel light, like you always do

But you’ll always take a part of me with you

Here’s hopin' there’s an open road before you

Here’s hopin' that your aim is always true

And when you’re tryin' to outrun that setting sun

Here’s hopin' that you do

I know you’ll try to hold to higher ground

And stay one day ahead of the storm

But when another blows and the rain keeps pouring down

May you find a place to keep you safe and warm

They say, every cowboy finds a home, somewhere

But friend, until your travels take you there

Here’s hopin' there’s an open road before you

Here’s hopin' that your aim is always true

And when you’re tryin' to outrun that setting sun

Here’s hopin' that you do

If the trail looks bad and you need to double back

Here’s hopin' that you do
