They wait by the door

They stand and they stare

Soft as smoke and as tough as nails

The sheets and the blankets and babies and all

Over yonder hill

Just around the bend

Every now and then

There you go again

Bury my feet down in the ground

Oh, old road dog

And let me believe this is where I belong
