Ballad of the War Wagon Songtext

von Ed Ames

(War Wagon, loaded with gold)

Most men are fightin' for a wagon full of gold
Scratchin' an' fightin' for a wagon full of gold
A piece of land, my cattle brand, a place to rest my head
The feelin' of a woman's love are all you really need for livin'

Three years in prison made me dream a lot of dreams
Sometimes a dream is not as easy as it seems
But wrong or right I have to fight, 'cause when the truth is told
All men are fightin' for a wagon full of gold

(Look at those horses, what are they draggin'?)
(Heavily guarded, what is that wagon?)
Most men are fightin' for a wagon full of gold
Scratchin' an' fightin' for a wagon full of gold
A piece of land, my cattle brand, a place to rest my head
The feelin' of a woman's love are all you really need for livin'

(Look at those horses, what are they draggin'?)
Three years in prison made me dream a lot of dreams
Sometimes a dream is not as easy as it seems
But wrong or right I have to fight, 'cause when the truth is told
All men are fightin' for, a-strugglin' for, a-searchin' for,
A-strivin' for, a wagon full of gold
