VERSE 1
Estrolling across the pastures and beyondG#  
Aone ol cowboy sings his Bsong
Ethrough the ashes clouds and grainG#  
Ahear the lonely whistle of that Btrain
CHORUS
Afaded postcards and the memoriesE  
all the Btelegrams that these old eyes Ecan read
Awild horses in the full Emoon tides
Bwhat a lovely ride
Afor a hawk that glides
what a lovely Eride
VERSE 2
south dakota summer rains
cool the buffalo out on the plains
and as he rides into the night
the silhouettes are dancing by the firelight
CHORUS
VERSE 3
well his work is never done
and he rises each day with the timing of the sun
its getting harder now to ride
but his body keeps on moving
and like a hawk he glides
CHORUS
