Well I'm ridin' along
|
Singin' the same ol' cowboy song
|
That's been sung a hundred times before
|
Ain't got nothin' but my name
|
And I'm the only man I know to blame
|
But I'm livin', I'm happy and I'm free
|
|
Just listen to the wind blow
|
Let it blow, let it blow
|
Sand over my trail
|
I got my saddle on the ground
|
And that ol' moon, he can still be found
|
Hidin' in the desert sky
|
|
I like simple things in life
|
Like a prairie breeze
|
A good stout horse between my knees
|
Just bein' alone, just bein' me
|
And when I die let me die
|
With a dream in my mind
|
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
|
And no cross on my grave
|
To show my restin' place
|
|
So I can listen to the wind blow
|
Let it blow, let it blow
|
Sand over my trail
|
I got my saddle on the ground
|
And that ol' moon, he can still be found
|
Hidin' in the desert sky
|
|
Won't you bury me with my chaps on
|
And my six-gun strapped to my side
|
So I can watch the moon a-hidin'
|
In the desert sky
|
Hidin' in the desert sky
|
Hidin' in the desert sky
|
Hidin' in the desert sky
|
