Ain’t Gonna Ride That Goodnight Trail Track

Ain’t Gonna Ride That Goodnight Trail (Larry W. Jones 11/21/2006) (song#4163)
I’d rather be in Texas with cactus and rattlesnakes
Than to be in Montana’s cold, for goodness sakes
|
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail
(Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail)
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail no more
|
I drove longhorns up to Cheyenne
On that Goodnight-Loving trail
Next thing I knew the snow began
And man, I nearly froze my tail
|
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail
(Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail)
|
Charlie, trail boss Charlie, why didn’t you tell me so
You double crossed me with all that Montana snow
El Paso is a warmer place, San Antonio sure is too
Ridin’ back at a steady pace, find me a cowgirl true
|
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail
(Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail)
I’m goin’ to build a ranch house in a pretty valley low
When my Bonnie cowgirl rides, I’ll see her tresses flow
|
My horse died one cold Tuesday night
Wednesday I was at the railroad siding
No horse on Thursday was my plight
So, Friday on a longhorn I was riding
|
A thousand miles south I rode alone
And I married that San Antonio belle
From now on, Texas will be my home
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail
(Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail)
Ain’t gonna ride that Goodnight trail no more
