Lyrics

Goodbye to Cimarron
by Glen Hofbauer

We left Missouri Mary and me
We Headed west we heard land was cheap
Joined a wagon train and took the leap for Sante Fe

Been on this trail now for 30 days
And the horizon still looks the same
But nothing risked nothing gained in these High Plains

Got to keep this wagon train rollin’ on
Say goodbye to Cimarron

Crossing these plains takes sweat and blood
This land will test if your tuff enough
Takes a lotta grit and God above every day

In these hp wind always blows
And it smells like dirt that much I know
I fear that rear wheels about to go Under the strain

Got to keep this wagon train rollin’ on
Say goodbye to Cimarron

Got to keep this wagon train rollin’ on
Say goodbye to Cimarron

Should make Raton in a couple days
I hear the wagon chief woke up with a rattlesnake
Don’t know how much more that back wheel can take in this terrain

Mary says there’s enough coffee for another week
Then tears off some hardtack for us to eat
And says “I see the farthest and see the least in these High Plains”

But got to keep this wagon train rollin’ on
Say goodbye to Cimarron
