In  a western town, beneath  the northern lights,
where  the pine trees pine for  the fall of night,
you  believe in cards, you  believe in signs
and  I'll be leavin' soon, but  I'm here tonight.
On  a mountainside, well  below the stars,
keep  your lovers eyes in  mason jars
and  I should be scared but  I feel no fear,
'cause  I'll be leavin' soon, tonight  I'm here.
And  even if you are the one,  and even  if the cards are all true,
when  the curtain calls, oh baby, what's  a boy to do?
When  the curtain calls, oh baby, what's  a boy to do?
 same as first)
 Well the Southern P. moved her family down.
 Then along came me to her sleepy town.
 I don't believe in cards, I don't believe in signs,
 but I'll be leavin' soon. I'm here tonight.
 In a western town, beneath the northern lights,
 where the pine trees pine for the fall of night,
 don't believe in me, did I make that clear?
 'cause I'll be long gone soon, tonight I'm here.
