Tom Russell - Prairie In The Sky lyrics

I ride an old blue roan, I carry all I own In the pouches of my saddle bags 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 to where my heart may roam I'll fly across the meadows, and touch the tall gra** as I go. Let the gentle western wind stay with me 'til the end Beside me 'til 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 just to see them once again. Let the wild, flying things soar above me on their wings The stars fill up the night sky and the moon light up the plains. I ride an old blue roan, I carry all I own In the pouches of my saddle bags with my bedroll tied behind.
