The Steeldrivers - To Be With You Again Lyrics

I cannot wait for dawn to break
I must be on my way
before I pass this way again
be many a dark dark day

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
everyday I hope and pray
to be with you again


Between a 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 true

I’ll run from what I haven’t done
cause the long arm of the law
has got a silver spade that’ll dig my grave
in Fort Smith Arkansas


One kiss before I leave you
and one more for the wind
everyday 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 for me

I’ll find a place on the box car roof
Where the wind cuts cold and deep
I don’t know need no rail road man
To catch me in my sleep


One kiss before I leave you
and one more for the wind
everyday I hope and pray
to be with you again

to be with you again
