Going to the Prairie Lyrics

If you're going to the prairie

Take the north road if you're kind

Theres a town there on the river

That has been a home of mine

If you do go along the river

Say hello to my folks at home

Say it wasn't my intention

To leave them all alone

One day I'll get back on that same old homebound train

Get back to that watercoloured sky

If you do go along the river

Oh they'll ask you if I'll come home before they die

Would you tell them I know they're waiting

Could you tell them I promise that I'll try

Someday I'll get back on that same old homebound train

Get back to that watercoloured sky

If you get to a dried up river

And you see my folks already gone

Then you move on to the prairie

Cause I know I've waited too long
