All my life I’ve been a-ridin’ in the round up
Punchin’ cattle’s been my life ‘til today
Now the round up is over and from now on I’m on my way
I’m just driftin’ down the trail to the sunset
I’m just followin’ the sun and the reigns
All I know is that hauntin’ tauntin’ melody of the plains
That’s the song that keeps singin’
That’s the tune that keeps bringin’
Me, the courage to travel along
Through the sage brush I’m ridin’
By the clouds I’m a guidin’
All I need is the plains and my song
All my pals are headin’ West towards the Rockies
But to me the plains are callin’ to stay
