lyrics

There are some that like the city grass,
That's curried smooth and green;
Theaters and strangling collars,
Wagons run by gasoline.

But for me a horse and saddle,
Every day without a change,
And a desert sun a blazing
On a hundred miles of range.

When my feet are in the stirrups,
and my horse is on the bust,
With his hoofs a flashing lightning
From a golden cloud of dust;

And the bawling of the cattle
Is coming down the wind,
Then a finer life than riding
Would be mighty hard to find.

I don't want no art exhibits
When the sunset does his best,
Painting everlasting glory
On the mountains to the west;

And your opera looks so foolish
When the night bird starts his tune
And the desert's silver mounted
By the touches of the moon.

When my earthly trail is ended,
and my final bacon curled,
And the great roundup is finished
At the home ranch of the world;
I don't need no harps nor halos,
Robes or other dressed up things,
Let me ride the starry ranges
On a pinto horse with wings.
