To Be With You Again - The SteelDrivers

I cannot wait for dawn to break

I must be on my way

Before I pass this way again

Be many a dog, dog days

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

Every day I hope and pray

To be with you again

With the 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 through

I’ll run from what I haven’t done

'Cause the long arm of the law

Got a silver spade that’ll dig my grave

Before on us all

One kiss before I leave you

And one more for the wind

Every day 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 I’m in

I’ll find a place on the boxcar roof

Where the wind cuts cold and deep

I don’t know need no railroad man

To catch me in my sleep

One kiss before I leave you

And one more for the wind

Every day I hope and pray

To be with you again

To be with you again
