Lyrics
Prairie Song Steve Kunzman Ó 2003
How?d you like to go out on the prairie
Raise a herd of cattle or two
How?d you like to join me on the prairie
Just me the doggies and you
I think you?d make a great cowboy
Punchin? cattle all the day through
Join me late at night in my bedroll
Beneath the prairie dog moon
[Chorus]
You bring along your spurs that jingle
I got my guitar and my gun
Just?a roamin? on the prairie
Headin? for the settin? sun
Don?t need no lights of no city
It?s not my idea of fun
Just?s workin? like a cowboy
From sun ?til the work is done
You and I will lie beneath the starlight
The Coyotes are howlin? at the moon
It?s been such a long day in the saddle
But now I?m alone with you
[Chorus]
You bring along your spurs that jingle
I got my guitar and my gun
Just?a roamin? on the prairie
Headin? for the settin? sun
Shoo doobie doo wah do
