[00:00:08] Well I left my home out on the great high plains

[00:00:13] Headed for some new terrain

[00:00:16] Standin' on the highway with my coffe cup

[00:00:19] A wonderin' who was gonna pick me up

[00:00:22] I had my hopes up high I never thought that I

[00:00:30] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:00:34] I had my hopes up high

[00:00:38] Well the first ride I got was in a dynamite truck

[00:00:42] The driver kept a tellin' me his bad luck

[00:00:45] As we swerved around the curves I began to shout

[00:00:49] Hey ey mister would you let me out

[00:00:52] I had my hopes up high I never though that I

[00:01:00] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:01:04] I had my hopes up high

[00:01:38] And the next ride I got was with a man in trouble

[00:01:41] The beard on his face was all in a stubble

[00:01:45] Runnin' from the law he was goin' ninety nine

[00:01:48] I said hey ey mister you're out of your mind

[00:01:52] I had my hopes up high I never thought that I

[00:02:00] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:02:03] I had my hopes up high

[00:02:08] Oh the next ride I got was with a preacher man

[00:02:12] Told me that the wicked would be buried in sand

[00:02:15] Don't know why I did it but I lost control

[00:02:19] Hey ey papa would you save my soul

[00:02:22] I had my hopes up high I never thought that I

[00:02:30] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:02:33] I had my hopes up high

[00:02:46] And I finally got a ride on a carnival train

[00:02:50] Nearly blew away in a hurricane

[00:02:53] I got to thinkin' bout that preacher down in Louisiana

[00:02:57] Sittin' on the delta siftin' sand

[00:03:00] I had my hopes up high I never thought that I

[00:03:08] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:03:12] I had my hopes up high

[00:03:16] I never thought that I

[00:03:18] Would ever wonder why I ever said good bye

[00:03:21] I had my hopes up high
