She Walked Beside The Wagon - Lyrics

Title: She Walked Beside The Wagon
Artist: Lorrie Morgan
Composer(s): Lynn Gillespie Chater, Kerry Chater, Cyril Rawson

Lyric:
She felt the cold and prairie wind, chill her to the bone
Through the Oklahoma dust before there was a road
Determination on her face and achin' in her feet
With all hope gone, she still walked on in to history

She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I

Mama tells the story, how she watched it on TV
Jackie John and Caroline and a nation on its knees
Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black
Jackie walked beside him knowing he's not coming back

She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I

Jesse's calling from the street, "Oh mommy, please come and see?"
A radio flier fire red, "Mommy please pull me?"
I've been working over time for a day just like today
Making sure that Jesse knows, he can always say

She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I, so can I
So can I, so can I
So can I, so can I
So can I, so can I
