She Walked Beside The Wagon

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
