Chorus:
I'm gonna roll with the tumbleweeds across this prairie,
Rock in the saddle 'neath a hazy, harvest moon,
Reel in a dust storm with a cloth pulled 'cross my face,
Rest with the horses beside a rushing stream

Come and sit by the fire and warm your dusty hands
Where ya from? Oh, just north of here in the Badlands
There are slopes there so rugged and so tall,
And, the sagebrush flowers in the early fall

Sometimes, the northern lights set the evening sky ablaze
Have you ever seen those brilliant blue-green rays?
When they flicker like a flame Never look the same
Never to be claimed

Chorus

Once, I let a lasso capture my wild, wild heart
Then, I traded it in for a chestnut mare and a wooden cart
Left my love for the open range Finally, made a change
Isn't love strange?

Chorus
