Caroline,

In the mountains the sun sets up in ribbons so high,
it's like I don't never wanna get old.
.. don't ever wanna die. We been seein' steady rain,
'bout to drive us all insane,
nearly lost a few head up in the pines.
At night, when some of the boys get to talking up their
girls back home, you know I tell 'em there ain't none
as fine as mine. I can hear old Chapman sayin' come
morning we'll break the range, be pushin' hard now for the plains.

I close my eyes and I can see you.
.. I close my eyes and I can feel you here.
God willin' an the creek don't rise,
I'll be home again before this time next year.
Though I fear this fever won't break...

-All my love
