RIDING DOWN 35
Riding Down 35 ©Words and Music by Claude J. Hande
East of the Rockies
Is a road with no gravel
Every trucker would know
That retraced a trail
That used to be traveled
A long long time ago
CHORUS:
They're still trying to get back home
Down a trail they travel on
Up on a horse out on a cattle drive
But in the cab of a truck
Riding down Thirty-Five
Cowboys remember
What the name Chisholm means
The greatest trail there’s ever been
They pushed cattle north
Red River to Abilene
And rushed back home again
CHORUS:
If you drive across the planes
Heading South to McClain
You can’t help but think of what those boys went through
But Thank God you’re on a road
That's gonna get you home real soon
CHORUS:
They're still trying to get back home
Down a trail they travel on
Up on a horse out on a cattle drive
But in the cab of a truck
Riding down Thirty-Five
