GONE ABOUT AS FAR AS I CAN GO
(song lyrics)
You'll reach the other side when you get there.
Never count the miles you've got to go.
Travel hard all day then you can say,
I've gone about as far as I can go.
Think I'll just sleep here by the roadside.
No one will see me lying here.
Surrounded by this tall grass,
The day is fading fast.
I've gone about as far as I can go.
Sun was beaming down this afternoon;
Think that I just saw a little snow.
Been mighty hot today,
Been mighty cold,
Gone about as far as I can go.
Don't you be worried in the least.
I'm running late a day or so.
I know you'll understand,
If I don't get home when I planned;
Gone about as far as I can go.
Tomorrow I'll be moving cross the river.
I'll climb that ol' mountain; it's so hard and slow.
Wish I could be home Monday evening,
But I've gone about as far as I can go.
Think I'll just sleep here by the roadside.
No one will see me lying here.
Surrounded by this tall grass,
The day is fading fast.
I've gone about as far as I can go.
I've gone about as far as I can go.
