PRAIRIE WIDE, MOUNTAINS HIGH.

PRAIRIE WIDE, MOUNTAINS HIGH

I’ve crossed the prairie wide
and climbed the mountains high
trying to find the place
where the earth meets the sky.

It always stays ahead of me,
it doesn’t matter what I do.
I know if I ever reach it
that is where I’ll find you.

Prairie wide and mountains high,
it's your name I loudly cry,
perhaps to never find you
but for the rest of my life to try.

I’ve looked for you in England,
Scotland and Ireland too ---
France, Germany, Switzerland
and still I search for you.

I saw you for a short while
when we met there on the ranch
but you’ve lived within my heart,
here since your first glance.

Prairie wide and mountains high,
it's your name I loudly cry,
perhaps to never find you
but for the rest of my life to try.

I’ve worked as a truck driver,
even as a rodeo clown,
put in time on a fishing boat,
while trying to track you down.

I’ll look for you forever----
if that’s how long it takes,
I know it’s just a gamble
but I’m playing for high stakes.

Prairie wide and mountains high,
it's your name I loudly cry,
perhaps to never find you
but for the rest of my life to try.

Fade out.......

I’ve crossed the prairie wide
and climbed the mountains high
trying to find the place
where the earth meets the sky.
