Well it's a thousand miles
Down to the rivers and the bridges
In the rainbow counties
And it's further still
Just to make it back
To where I came from
And those dandelions
Lord they go flying
It's been a long year
Since I had a friend
In the Rocky Mountains
It's been a longer still
Since I'd been to see my Notre Dam
But I remember when
Lord we went walking
Brother don't you ever think of Rosie?
We played our songs when first she took to stage
And our hearts were young
And she was full of hope
And I hear she's livin in New York city these days
Well Loretta she ran
Like a rabbit on the fast train
Going nowhere
And I held too close
Knowing there was nothing I could say
But those dandelions
Lord they go flyin
Those dandelions
Lord they go flying
