That old prairie wind is blowing.
I can feel it on my face.
As a land rolls out before me.
Everything now
is in its place.

My old home
no, I`ll never go to.
My old home
I`ll never see.
For I must ride now
across these flat lands
fleeing the man go`ed
and murdered me.

By the dawn`s early light
oh, I`m gonna saddle up and ride.
By the dawn`s early light
ride through the night
into the dawn`s early light.

In the state of Indiana
lived the man who killed my son.
I shot his xxx dead.
I did in Indy.
After ten long years on the road.

But that old man he was not a loner.
Had two brothers, don`t you see?
They flipped a coin.
Down to their fate decide
which one would come and murder me.

By the dawn`s early light
oh, I`m gonna saddle up and ride.
By the dawn`s early light
ride through the night
into the dawn`s early light.

Sun comes up and down in a valley
In the air sensation over me.
And I see cold men up around the corner.
Both of the brothers riding right in front of me.

Down in a valley its two against one.
All men reaching for their guns.
Three. Three. Three shots
fire down in a valley.
Two men dying in the morning sun.

By the dawn`s early light
now my boy laying by my side.
By the dawn`s early light
as I lay me down to die
in the dawn`s early light.

By the dawn`s early light
now, I`m gonna saddle up and ride.
By the dawn`s early light
ride through the night
into the dawn`s early light.

Riding along
into the night [repeat]
