Here's Hopin' Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

By the way you watch the sunset, I can tell 

Soon you'll saddle up that ol' strawberry roan 

Bid goodbye to the goodnight lovin' trail 

And set off to blaze a new trail of your own 

I know you'll travel light, like you always do 

But you'll always take a part of me with you 

Here's hopin' there's an open road before you 

Here's hopin' that your aim is always true 

And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun 

Here's hopin' that you do 

I know you'll try to hold to higher ground 

And stay one day ahead of the storm 

But when another blows and the rain keeps pouring down 

May you find a place to keep you safe and warm 

They say, every cowboy finds a home, somewhere 

But friend, until your travels take you there 

Here's hopin' there's an open road before you 

Here's hopin' that your aim is always true 

And when you're tryin' to outrun that setting sun 

Here's hopin' that you do 

If the trail looks bad and you need to double back 

Here's hopin' that you do
