Lyrics
Tempo: 120 BPM
(slow Guitar instrumental)
(Verse 1)
Out on the lone prairie, where the wild wind blows free,
I saddle up my horse, just my trusty steed and me.
The sun is settin' low, paintin' skies of crimson gold,
As I ride the dusty trails, like the cowboys of old.
(Steel Guitar Interlude)
(Chorus)
Ridin' the lone prairie, with a heart so free,
Just a cowboy and his dreams, as far as eyes can see.
With the stars as my guide and the moon hangin' high,
I'll be ridin' the lone prairie 'til the day I die.
(Instrumental Break with Steel Guitar and Fiddle)
(Verse 2)
I left my hometown far behind, searchin' for my destiny,
A wanderin' soul on horseback, seekin' what’s meant to be.
In the canyons and the valleys, 'neath the wide open sky,
I hear the call of freedom, as the days go driftin' by.
(Chorus)
Ridin' the lone prairie, with a heart so free,
Just a cowboy and his dreams, as far as eyes can see.
With the stars as my guide, and the moon hangin' high,
I'll be ridin' the lone prairie, 'til the day I die.
(Bridge)
There's a lonesome whistle blowin' on a far-off midnight train,
Reminding me of the life I left, the love I can't reclaim.
But here upon my saddle, with the world at my command,
I find my peace and solace, in this wide and open land.
(Harmonica interlude)
(Verse 3)
Someday, I might find a town where I'll hang my hat to stay,
But until that day comes 'round, I'll be ridin' every day.
For the spirit of the West lives within this cowboy's soul,
And the lone prairie will forever be the place that makes me whole.
(Chorus)
Ridin' the lone prairie, with a heart so free,
Just a cowboy and his dreams, as far as eyes can see.
With the stars as my guide and the moon hangin' high,
I'll be ridin' the lone prairie 'til the day I die.
(Fade to End with Repeating Chorus)
Ridin' the lone prairie, with a heart so free,
Just a cowboy and his dreams, as far as eyes can see.
With the stars as my guide, and the moon hangin' high,
I'll be ridin' the lone prairie, 'til the day I die..
I'll be ridin' the lone prairie, 'til the day I die..
(Steel guitar end)
