PRAIRIE IN THE SKY
(Mary McCaslin)

I ride a big blue roan
I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebags
With my bedroll tied behind

There's a prairie in the sky
I'll find it by and by
Hills of brown and yellow
To make a soul unwind

Let the music take me home
To where a heart may roam
I'll fly across the meadow
Touch the tall grass as I go

Let the gentle western wind
Stay with me till the end
Beside me till the day is done
And the sun has 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 plain

I ride a big blue roan
I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebags
With my bedroll tied behind
