George Hamilton IV – Long Thin Dawn

George Hamilton IV – Long Thin Dawn Lyrics

Artist: George Hamilton IV
Song: Long Thin Dawn

I’ve seen the hills of Frisco, the streets of Montreal
In every town I’ve been to I’ve had someone to call
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
I’ve had so many good friends I could not miss them all

In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin’ on again
Last night I came to Calgary beneath the snow-capped ridge

I thought about my darlin’ as I stood beneath the bridge
And there were times I’ve made her cry
But I guess by now she’s learned
Any time I’ve wandered I always have returned

In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin’ on again
Right now I’m on a highway just east of Omaha

Ridin’ shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we’ve got some miles to kill
In that long thin dawn

That long thin dawn
Is comin’ on again
While climbin’ up a hillside, Bill drops ‘er down a gear
And the engine sings so sweetly ’tis music to my ear

I tell him that I’d love to be just like him if I can
Drivin’ like a restless wind across this precious land
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn

Is comin’ on again
Says Bill, “The air is clean at night” as he puffs a big cigar
“And if this rig keeps rollin’, my boy you’ll travel far
But when you are a trucker you’ll come to realize

The only thing a man can do is watch the world roll by”
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin’ on again
