Conestoga

Adrienne Young

Conestoga

I have wandered through the hills of better days

Broken my own heart with my cheatin? ways

So I?ll try to make amends I will rectify

All the time I spent more dead than alive

Darlin? hitch up the Conestoga

Ride my gently to & fro

I have searched many a lifetime

All for what I do not know

All for what I know

Give me freedom like the flight of a raven?s wing

Lie down with the sun, rise and start to sing

Lonesome doves will always find their way back home

But there?s seed to feed anywhere we roam

I will take the reins when you need to sleep

I will soothe your pain if your back grows weat

But first these words you must speak

I am ready to go, I?m ready to go

Darlin? pack up the Conestoga

Ride my gently sweet and low

I have searched many a lifetime

All for what I do not know

All for what I know

Ready to go?ready to go
