I have wandered through the hills of better days Broken my own heart with my cheatin' ways So I'll try to make amends I will rectify All the time I spent more dead than alive Darlin' hitch up the Conestoga Ride my gently to & fro I have searched many a lifetime All for what I do not know All for what I know Give me freedom like the flight of a raven's wing Lie down with the sun, rise and start to sing Lonesome doves will always find their way back home But there's seed to feed anywhere we roam I will take the reins when you need to sleep I will soothe your pain if your back grows weat But first these words you must speak I am ready to go, I'm ready to go Darlin' pack up the Conestoga Ride my gently sweet and low I have searched many a lifetime All for what I do not know All for what I know Ready to go…ready to go
