[00:00.00]In Lonesome Dove - The Tribute Beat
[00:07.07]She was a girl on a wagon train
[00:13.21]Headed west across the plains
[00:18.15]The train got lost in a summer storm
[00:23.22]They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home
[00:28.21]Then she saw him riding through the rain
[00:33.78]He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train
[00:38.85]And she looked down and her heart was gone
[00:44.28]The train went west but she stayed on
[00:49.21]In lonesome dove
[00:55.18]A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
[01:00.97]A blooming rose in a bed of sand
[01:06.02]She loved the man who wore a star
[01:11.05]A texas ranger known near and far
[01:16.17]So they got married and they had a child
[01:21.80]But times were touch and the west was wild
[01:26.88]So it was no surprise the day she learned
[01:32.05]That her Texas man would not return
[01:37.12]To lonesome dove
[01:43.28]Back to back with the rio grande
[01:46.14]A christian woman in the devil's land
[01:48.83]She learned the language and she learned to fight
[01:51.51]But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
[01:58.97]In lonesome dove lonesome dove
[02:10.50]She watched her boy grow to a man
[02:16.14]He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
[02:21.59]He wore his star for all to see
[02:26.41]He was a Texas lawman legacy
[02:31.77]The one day word blew into town
[02:37.19]It seemed the men that shot his father down
[02:42.79]Had robbed a bank in Cherico
[02:47.45]The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
[02:52.48]Was lonesome dove
[02:58.65]The shadows stretched across the land
[03:03.97]As the shots rang out down the rio grande
[03:09.30]And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
[03:14.50]The men lay at the ranger's feet
[03:19.67]But legend tells to this very day
[03:25.38]That shots were comin' from an alleyway
[03:30.63]Though no one knows who held the gun
[03:35.41]There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
[03:40.45]In lonesome dove
[03:46.46]Back to back with the rio grande
[03:49.76]A christian woman in the devil's land
[03:52.23]She learned the language and she learned to fight
[03:54.86]But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
[04:02.50]In lonesome dove lonesome dove
