Carrie Elkin - Ode to Ogallala lyrics

rate me

It’s the end of the Texas trail

And it’s where I begin

A town too tough for Texans

Lord I think I’ll fit right in

Transcontinental railroad

Running by my door

Was headed east to the ocean

But I don’t belong there anymore

Ogallala I really want ya

Sweet Nebraska, I meant to ask ya

How long?

Must have fell off the wagon

The tinhorn gamblers

Were drawing me in

Then a dance with a cowboy

My feet were flyin’

My heart was sinned

The smell of smoke in the timbers

I coulda swore I saw a neon light

Shinin’ down on me whiskey

A hard days work means a drinking night

Ogallala I really want ya

Sweet Nebraska I meant to ask ya

How long?

Oh how long?

Smell of smoke in the timbers

I coulda swore I saw a neon light

Shinin’ down on me whiskey

A hard days work means a drinking night

Shinin’ down on me whiskey

A hard days work means a drinking night.
