Talking To The Moon Lyrics

When the hot September sun down in Texas I sucked the streams bone dry and turned to roads to dust In the sleepy little towns down in Texas The shades are all pulled down, streets are all rolled up
And the only thing that breaks the silence Are the trucks a-passin' by Late at night on the front porch swing You can hear their mournful sigh
And the lonesome whippoorwill Cries to the stars above He was calling out for his lady love She's been gone so long
I was just talking to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over The memory of you, too hard to hold
And the wind across the plains Is all that now remains You know the night shakes loose the names But they never quite go back the way they came
So, goodbye rodeo It's a long, funny way for men to go Never change Never change at all
I was just talking to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over The memory of you, too hard to hold on
I was just talking to the moon Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over The memory of you
