lyrics

The Great Divide
By Forest Hill

There's gold in my pockets
And rain in my coat
And I'm standing on this turnpike
With a head all full of hope
I'm dying like hell to see you
And I don't care if I die
Thumbing home across the great divide.

The sun on the pavement
Bleeds tears from my eyes
While clouds cast a shadow
As I wait here for a ride
Out in the distance
A truck door opens wide
To take me back across thsi great divide

Roll on to you
Roll on to you
Roll on till I reach the other side
Roll on to you
Roll on to you
Roll on to ease this restless mind

I'll go walking through the shadows
Of the Appalachian plains
Crawling through the fields
Of the amber waves of grain
Gonna ride down the Rookies
To the California side
Gonna meet your there
Across the great divide.

Roll on to you
Roll on to you
Roll on till I reach the other side
Roll on to you
Roll on to you
Roll on to ease this restless mind

As I stand here before you
With my heart raised to the sky
And feel your gentle touch remove
The thorns from my side
There's no darkness upon us
Just stars in the sky
Forever yours across this great divide.
Forever yours across this great divide.
Forever yours across this great divide.
