I Had My Hopes up High
[Verse 1] Well I left my home out on the great high planes Headed for some new terrains Standin' on the highway with my coffee cup Wonderin' who's gonna pick me up
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] 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?'
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] And the next ride I got was with a man in trouble Beard on his face was all and a stubble Runnin' from the law, he was goin' 99 I said, 'Hey, mister you're out of your mind'
[Chorus]
[Verse 4] And the next ride I got was with a preacher man Told me that the wicked would be buried in sin I don't know why I did it but I lost control I said, 'Hey, papa would you save my soul?'
[Chorus]
[Verse 5] Well I finally got a ride on a carnival train Nearly blew away in a hurricane I got to thinkin' 'bout the preacher down in Louisiana Now I'm sittin' on the Delta siftin' sand
[Chorus]
