She Walked Beside The Wagon

She felt the cold and dreary wind

Chill her to the bone.

Through the Oklahoma dust

Before there was a road.

Determination on her face,

And aching 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 T.V.

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 though

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

"Mommy, please come and see?"

A radio flier fire red

"Mommy please pull me?"

I've been working over time

For a day 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...
