Purple mountains, dark and tall,
provide a barrier for us all.
Surrounded by the broadening sky,
the starlight twinkles in our eyes.
A guitar strumming soft and low,
songs of the range we long to know.
The Cacti seem to point the way
to falling stars lit by their blaze.
The cattle’s often bellowed moan
sounds like the ore boats heard back home.
The peaceful night, so calm, so still,
allows me to feel that peace is real.
And as the leather of my skin
is cracked by the sunlight once again,
the dust now settled in my beard,
tells me there is no place but here.
The prairie trail invades my blood
and covers me just like a flood.
So I shall never feel my plight,
while watching stars overhead at night.

Hi,
Can almost hear that song .... ''Home, home on the
range.''
Never been to that part of the world but should
think it's just as wonderful as you describe.
