She Walked Beside The Wagon Lyrics - Lorrie Morgan

She felt the cold and prairie wind, chill her to the bone 

Through the Oklahoma dust before there was a road 

Determination on her face and achin' in her feet 

With all hope gone, she still walked on in to history 

She walked beside the wagon 

And she held her head up high 

If she walked beside the wagon 

So can I, so can I 

Mama tells the story, how she watched it on TV 

Jackie John and Caroline and a nation on its knees 

Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black 

Jackie walked beside him knowing he's not coming back 

She walked beside the wagon 

And she held her head up high 

If she walked beside the wagon 

So can I, so can I 

Jesse's calling from the street, "Oh mommy, please come and see?" 

A radio flier fire red, "Mommy please pull me?" 

I've been working over time for a day just like today 

Making sure that Jesse knows, he can always say 

She walked beside the wagon 

And she held her head up high 

If she walked beside the wagon 

So can I, so can I 

So can I, so can I 

So can I, so can I 

So can I, so can I
