When the wagons leave the city
For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone
Sometimes travelling through the darkness
They met the summer coming home
Falling faces by the wayside
Looked as if they might have known
Oh, the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh, the dancing, oh, the singing
Oh, the music when they played
Oh, the fire that they started
Oh, the girls with no regret
Sometimes they found it, sometimes they kept it
Often lost it on the way
They fought each other to possess it
Sometimes they died in sight of day
Oh, the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
Oh, the sun was in their eyes
And the desert that dries
In the country town
Where the laughter sounds
