Lyrics[]
From this wasteland they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
that has brightened our road for a while
So come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the New Vegas valley
and the drifter that loved you so true
For a long time my darling I've waited
for the sweet words you never would say
Now at last all my fond hopes have vanished
for they say that you're going away
So come sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the New Vegas valley
and the drifter that loved you so true

Note: "New Vegas Valley" is erroneously credited as "New Vegas Radio," although Melilli is listed as a performer on the song. - ↑ Question: "I noticed you wrote and performed a few songs for the soundtrack. What instrument do you play?"
Joshua Sawyer: "I actually don't play any instruments (unless you count the dulcitar I just started to learn). The guitar parts for the Lonesome Drifter's songs were performed by Nathaniel Chapman and James Melilli."
