Snowin' On Raton Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo 

When the moon along the Gunnison don't rise 

And I cast my dreams upon your love babe 

And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes 

[Chorus:] 

Snowin' on Raton 

Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone 

Snowin' on Raton 

Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone 

Mother thinks the road is long and lonely 

Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine 

Little darlin' thinks the road is soft and lovely 

I'm thankful that ole road's a friend of mine 

(Repeat Chorus) 

I'll bid the years goodbye, you cannot steal them 

You cannot turn the circles of the sun 

You cannot count the miles until you feel them 

You cannot hold a lover that is gone 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Tomorrow the mountains will be sleepin' 

Silent 'neath the blanket green and blue 

And I shall hear the silence they are keepin' 

And I'll bring all their promises to you 

(Repeat Chorus)
