There’s no stronger wind than the one that blows 
Down a lonesome railroad line. 
No prettier sight than the looking back, on a town you’ve left behind. 
There’s nothing that’s as real, as a love that’s in my mind. 
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’, 
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile.

There’s a lots of things along a road I’d surely like to see,
I’d like to lean into the wind to tell myself I’m free.
But your softness whispers louder, than the highways calling me.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’,
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile.

All the mountains and the rivers and the Valleys can’t compare
To your blue lit dancin’ eyes, yellow shinnin’ hands
I could never hit the open road and leave you lyin’ there
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’,
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile.

Lay your head back easy Love, close your cryin’ eyes.
I’ll be layin’ here beside you, when the sun comes on the rise.
I’ll stay as long as a coo-coo wails, as a lonesome bluetick cries.
Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’,
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile.

Close your eyes I’ll be here in the mornin’,
Close your eyes I’ll be here for awhile.
