[Verse 1]
From the Dtop of Mahogany Ridge you can see forever
And forDever is a long, long Away
The Ddesert rules, the Gfirst rule, you've got to Dknow your way back Ghome
DAnd you'll be back to ride another Aday
[Verse 2]
And when tDhe night falls the silence all around you
And the Dbeating of your heart is the only souAnd
Down iDn some lonley caGnyon, besDide the sagebrush fiGre
DrDeaming of the lights of paradise toAwn
[Chorus]
DRoll on OE7wyhee, wild horse Emheaven
I hope it always Gwill beA  
DRoll on E7Owyhee
Far aGcross the Asagebrush Dsea
[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus]
DRoll on OE7wyhee, wild horse Emheaven
I hope it always Gwill beA  
DRoll on E7Owyhee
Far aGcross the Asagebrush Dsea
[Verse 3]
So we'll rDaise our glasses high to the big Owyhee
we'll hDave another round for the fellas who still hear the cAall
they Dgot to play the card that's dealt Gthem, ride the horses that they cut them
comiDng off of Mountain Taparedo talAl
[Chorus]
DRoll on OE7wyhee, wild horse Emheaven
I hope it always Gwill beA  
DRoll on E7Owyhee
Far aGcross the Asagebrush Dsea
