Thanks A Million

All is quiet on the stage tonight
I thought the show would never end
Close the curtains, time to dim the light
Thanks a million, my old friend

No more riding out there on the western plain
As the crow flies, it’s too far to call your name
Things around here never going to be the same
Thanks a million my old friend

First time that I saw you, was through a young man’s eyes
Blew me a million miles away
And as I watched you there, something in me changed
Things were different from the day

Took me riding out there on the western plain
As the crow flies, I was close enough again
Things around here never going to be the same
Thanks a million my old friend

And as I stand up here upon this stage tonight
I can’t help but think of you
And though sometimes this life, it almost breaks my heart
Same road you travelled on, I do

No more riding out there on the western plain
As the crow flies, it’s too far to call your name
Things around here never going to be the same
Life will get you in the end
Thanks a million my old friend
