Oregon Trail - Joe Purdy

Truth and consequences close behind us

Take the rockies by surprise

And old coyotes warn early mornings of

Wild horses in desquise

Won’t you take me through the mountains

Towards the oregon trial

And say goodbye to Colorado

Front my heart I wish you well

We missed the magpie so we took a long drive

Could not get far enough away

Tracked through the deep snow and turned up the radio

And toasted outside santa fe

Won’t you take me

Through the mountains

Towards the oregon line

Say goodbye to Colorado

Fare the well good friend of mine

Woke up in Idaho and it was twenty three below

We walked out as far as we could stand

I watched you in your black coat as you photographed the hills a rollin

Count to three and when we ran
