Lyrics
"Riding the Great Plains " (Americana Country Rock)
Verse 1 Out where the mountains scrape the sky, And the badlands gently roll, I saddle up beneath the sun, Where the wild winds touch my soul. Dirt on my boots, my heart on fire, Chasing dreams from wire to wire.
Chorus I ride the range tonight, with a full moon giving me light. Campfire burning, stories told, Freedom's flame better than gold. From winters blanket to the colors of fall, I keep hearing that wild call -- I just ride, I just ride.
Verse 2 The land sings a lonesome tune, Coyotes howl to the silver moon. My soul's part of this land, A guitar, a horse, and my weathered hands. Nobody here, no ties that bind, just peace of mind is all you'll find.
Bridge Let the thunder crackle, let the lightning dance, I'll take my chances, I'll make my stance. I feel alive and my smile getting bigger with each country mile.
Final Chorus I ride the range tonight, with the moon's guiding light. Campfire dreams and whiskey songs, this is where I belong. From the great plains to mountain highs, I chase the open skies -- I just ride, I just ride.
