Rod MacDonald - The Cross Country Waltz

Kishore Kumar Hits — Rod MacDonald - The Cross Country Waltz lyrics

Artist: Rod MacDonald

album: White Buffalo

There's an old barn outside on the far edge of town where the ladies
Keep dancing so fine their smiles
Touch their ears, their dresses the ground
They got all their men in a line
And I thought for a second
How fine it would be to get dancing and feeling so free
Take a few turns and get me a girl and
Bring one of them smiles home with me.
But it just looked too easy
Just too easy to be right
And I'm out on the road walking alone
One step ahead of the frost
And your baby ain't no baby anymore
He's doing the cross country waltz.
I had a lover, she walked thru my dreams
Til one day she drifted away
And I got me a letter when some months had gone by
Saying "Come back, I'll do what you say,"
But in a city I found a new wheel spinning round
Like a carnival half of the time
And though I'm walking alone now and counting my dimes
I think I'll just let her go by.
I got me a letter yesterday from home,
Saying "How long you think you'll be gone?"
As I looked at the sun, it was warming my hands
That letter slipped down on the ground
'Cause there's riverboats and drifters and a silvery moon
And the people they all ask your name
And if you never left home you'd never have to go back,
But once you go back you can't stay.
