Friendly Gates (feat. Carlene Carter)

September 01, 1974

Lyrics

I keep puttin’ off my letters hopin’ tomorrow will bring better news
Of what’s to come my darlin’
I know it’s so hard for you to sit while I try and do
The things I am I’m not a man
So I’ll kick up the dust while I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin’ all the time that I’m just
Walkin’ toward those friendly gates I trust

I keep prayin’ every night that the land I have in sight
Won’t be gone when the mornin’ comesfor the faith you placed in me
Is all the ground there needs to be for everything I ever dreamed
So I’ll kick up the dust while I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin’ all the time that I’m just
Walkin’ toward those friendly gates I trust

The feelin’ that I get from the candles you have lit
In my lonely mind I’ve got to find
For me to give up now would be the only reasons
How I could never live the way I wanna live
So I’ll kick up the dust while I wonder through the fields that I must
Knowin’ all the time that I’m just
Walkin’ toward those friendly gates I trust
Walkin’ towards those friendly gates I trust
