There’s no stronger wind than the one that blows,

Down a lonesome railroad line
No prettier sight than looking back, On a town you left behind
And there’s nothin’ that’s as real, As a love that’s in my mind

 

Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes, I’ll be here for a while

 

There’s lots of things along the road, Oh, I’d surely like to see
I’d like to lean into the wind, And tell myself I’m free
But your softest whisper’s louder than, The highway’s call to me

 

Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes, I’ll be here for a while

 

All the mountains and the rivers, And the valleys can’t compare
To your blue lit dancin’ eyes, And yellow shinin’ hair
Oh, I could never hit the open road, And leave you lyin’ there

 

Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes, I’ll be here for a while

 

So, lay your head back easy, love, Close your cryin’ eyes
I’ll be layin’ here beside ya, When the sun comes on the rise
I’ll stay as long as the cuckoo wails, And the lonesome bluejay cries

 

Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes, I’ll be here for a while

Close your eyes, I’ll be here in the mornin’
Close your eyes, I’ll be here for a while
