Karaoké Night Rider's Lament Garth Brooks

One night when I was out ridin' the graveyard shift midnight 'till dawn

The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home

And he asked me why do you ride for your money

Tell me, why do you rope for short pay

You ain't a gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your share boy, you must have gone crazy out there

He said last night, I ran on to Jenny she's married and she has a good life

Boy, you sure missed the track when you never came back she's the perfect professional's wife

And she asked me why does he ride for his money

Tell me, why does you rope for short pay

He ain't a gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his share boy, he must have gone crazy out there

Ah, but they've never seen the Northern Lights they've never seen a hawk on the wing

They've never spent spring at the Great Divide and they've never heard ole

Camp Cookie sing

So I read up the last of my letter and I tore off the stamp for Black Jim

And when Billy rode up to relieve me he just looked at my letter and he grinned

And he said now why do they ride for their money

Tell me, why do they rope for short pay

They ain't a gettin' nowhere and they're losin' their share boy, they must have gone crazy out there

Son, they all must be crazy out there
