I Had My Hopes up High
Lyricist:Joe Ely
Well, I left my home out on the Great High Plains Headed for some new terrain Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup A wonderin' who was gonna pick me up
I had my hopes up high, I never thought That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
Well, the first ride I got was in a dynamite truck The driver kept tellin' me his bad luck As we swerved around the curves, I began to shout I said, 'Hey mister would you let me out?'
I had my hopes up high, I never thought That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
And the next ride I got was with a man in trouble The beard on his face was all in a stubble Runnin' from the law he was goin' ninety-nine I said, 'Hey mister, you're out of your mind'
I had my hopes up high, I never thought Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
And the next ride I got was with a preacher man Told me that the wicked would be buried in sand I don't know why I did it but I lost control I said, 'Ho Papa, would you save my soul?'
I had my hopes up high, I never thought That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
And I finally got a ride on a carnival train Nearly blew away in a hurricane I got to thinkin' bout that preacher down in Louisianne Now I'm sittin' on the Delta Siftin' sand
I had my hopes up high, I never thought That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
I never thought That I would ever wonder why I ever said goodbye I had my hopes up high
