i had my hopes up high - joe ely lyrics

Loading...

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
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
