I ride a big blue roan
I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebag
With my bedroll tied behind
There's a prairie in the sky
I'll find it by and by
Hills of brown and yellow
To make a soul unwind
Let the music take me home
To where a heart may roam
I'll fly across the meadows
Touch the tall grass as I go
And let the gentle western wind
Stay with me 'til the end
Beside me 'til the day is done
And the sun is sinking low
Leave the ponies to run free
Far as the eye can see
I'd ride the range forever
To see them once again
Let the wild flying things
Soar above me on their wings
And the stars fill up the night sky
And the moon light up the plains
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I ride a big blue roan
I carry all I own
In the pouches of my saddlebag
With my bedroll tied behind
