Trailside Blues (Life Goes On)

Early one autumn morn i set out on my way Following any trail that led me far away Until i crossed the Sioux i felt that i might turn— Around but i knew i had memories to burn
You were so precious forever I'd have held you But something changed your love turned cold like a stone You meant the world to me - now it's all over And now I'm thrust into this life all alone
I thought about us as i crossed the great divide I saw your face in the mountain i climbed to get to the other side I heard your voice in the howling wind by the fireside near dark Though I'd come a hundred miles your love still left its mark
And still I've learned oh so much on this journey You give and take and then you give back again All of the reasons i had just for giving up Throw 'em away cause baby i want to live
And it goes on and on It goes on and on Life goes on and on without you
