I have wandered through the hills of better days
Broken my own heart with my cheatin ways
So Ill try to make amends I will rectify
All the time I spent more dead than alive
Darlin hitch up the Conestoga
Ride my gently to & fro
I have searched many a lifetime
All for what I do not know
All for what I know
Give me freedom like the flight of a ravens wing
Lie down with the sun, rise and start to sing
Lonesome doves will always find their way back home
But theres seed to feed anywhere we roam
I will take the reins when you need to sleep
I will soothe your pain if your back grows weat
But first these words you must speak
I am ready to go, Im ready to go
Darlin pack up the Conestoga
Ride my gently sweet and low
I have searched many a lifetime
All for what I do not know
All for what I know
