Mother's Mistakes - I Still Wander Lyrics

It's been months since I have spoken
But I'll tell you what I know
That it's awfully hard to ride in
A couple feet of snow
And the days keep getting shorter
Through the winds I smell the pine
And the trees keep out the sunshine
From this lonely heart of mine

But still I wander
And I look upon the stars
For the answers
And I've traveled very far
Though I've ridden every pass
From here to there
I still wander

There was a woman that I married
And a boy we named McGraw
In a small town west of Reno
Where the silver miner's ore
But the gang, it burned the village
Made a lot of people hide
Through the walls I heard them yelling
It trapped a lot of folks inside

But still I wander
And I look upon the stars
For the answers
And I've traveled very far
Though I've ridden every trail
From here to there
I still wander

Desert cloud still bleeding hope

I find the years escape me
Think it's 1851
In the mountains smoke is rising
So I hang onto my gun
Some day I'll turn the corner
And find my sweet Belle there
With my son, they'll both be waiting
With arms stretched in the air

I keep praying for my family
But I'll keep moving on
Until the Lord returns them
Until all hope is gone

But I still wander
With my horse and all I know
Not really knowing
Just which way to go
Though I've covered lots of ground
From here to there
I still wander

And I still wander
And I look upon the stars
For the answers
And I've traveled very far
Though I've ridden every trail
From here to there
I still wander
