I've seen the hills of Frisco, the streets of Montreal
In every town I've been to, I've had someone to call
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
I've had so many good friends, I could not miss them all
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn's a-comin' on again
Last night I came to Calgary beneath the snow-capped ridge
Thought about my darlin' as I stood beneath the bridge
There were times I've made her cry, but I guess by now she's learned
Any time I've wandered, I always have returned
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn's a-comin' on again
Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
A-ridin' shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn's a-comin' on again
While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear
And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis music to my ear
I tell him that I'd love to be just like him if I can
A-drivin' like a restless wind across this precious land
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn's a-comin' on again
Says Bill the air is clean at night as he puffs a big cigar
And if this rig keeps rollin', my boy, you'll travel far
When you are a trucker, you'll come to realize
The only thing a man can do is watch the world roll by
In that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn's a-comin' on again
