Prairie in the Sky




Prairie in the Sky by Mary McCaslin

I ride a big blue roan, I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebag with my bedroll tied behind
There's a prairie in the sky, I'll find it by and by
Hues of brown and yellow to make a soul unwind

Let the music take me home where a heart may roam
I'll fly across the meadows, touch the tall grass as I g
Let the gentle western wind stay with me till the end
Beside me till the day is done and the sun is settled low

Leave the ponies to run free, far as the eye can see
I'd ride the range forever to see them once again
Let the wild flying things soar above me on their wings
And the stars fill up the night sky and the moon light up the plains

I ride a big blue roan, I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebag with my bedroll tied behind
