Sunrise, it's the moment I can see this place anew Past the cattle and the weather and the crew Like the ever-blowing wind, it's the love That's always there, everywhere Way back it was great grandfather Who fought the daily wars Lost and won high in the saddle of a horse His decisions all were made for the family, For the land, hand-in-hand This is home Where the mountains roll the rivers through the fields Blue skies as slick as steel A coyote calls from a ridge above us all It's a life of stars and stones It's all we've known Money means you subdivide and conquer as a choice It's the modern cowboy's secret little voice It tells him he'd be a wealthy man If he sells this place today and walks away History ties the ranching to our family and our friends Everyday the modest means just never end The wrinkles branded in my smile trace The rapture and despair, same as theirs This is home Where the mountains roll the rivers through the fields Blue skies as slick as steel A coyote calls from a ridge above us all It's a life of stars and stones It's a life of stars and stones It's all we've known
