| Lyrics | [Verse 1] Well I was working on the KCS Rail Line Katie was the girl down the street Well I took her to a dance On the Fourth of July Hoping she might fall in love with me [Verse 2] Well the band started playin' right at nine Firecrackers popped in the sky We danced and we danced Lord, I never had a chance Well I got canned on the Fifth of July [Chorus] And we laughed at the moonlight I said "goodbye" in the gray light of dawn Yes the girl of my dreams Each and every night, it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms [Verse 3] I was playin' in this tommyknocker tavern Jenny was the girl at the bar Well I sang every song For her and her alone And kissed her 'neath the Colorado stars [Chorus] And we laughed at the moonlight I said "goodbye" in the gray light of dawn Yes the girl of my dreams Each and every night, it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms [Verse 5] Seasons come and change just like the leaves Red Oaks in the Kai Nation wind Well they scatter and they fall Where they land, I can't recall Will I ever find my darlin' again? You might also like[Chorus] And we laughed at the moonlight Said "Goodbye" in the gray light of dawn Yes the girl of my dreams Each and every night, it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms Oh yes, the girl of my dreams Each and every night, it seems Is the one that I hold in my arms |
