(Egan)
It's a dead-end job and the money is low,
And the time goes by so slow.
If I stay too long it could bring me down,
So I might as well take another look around.
You say it's a fool that keeps moving on,
Well, maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong.
You can keep on talking 'til the end of time,
But nothing's gonna make me change my mind.
I pick up my money when the day is done,
I'm moving on, and I've got a good reason.
I hear you moan, but you've only got yourself to blame,
If I stayed in one position I would feel the same.
So I'll just keep travelling on,
I'd rather go on living like a rolling stone.
You can keep on talking 'til the end of time,
But nothing's gonna make me change my mind.

There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
My parents can not stand him 'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me cryin'
I would follow him right down the roughest road I know
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
But when he comes to call, my pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days
So blow, you old Blue Northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
When he comes to call, my pa ain't got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in his younger days
So blow, you old blue northern, blow my love to me
He's ridin' in tonight from California
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me
Someday soon, goin' with him someday soon
Someday soon, goin' with him
