Down from the great white north

More than enough and then some

Swept her up on his horse,

Get stuck up on a fence

When this round is through, I'll be coming back home

Wide open spaces

Between these two prairie hearts

Wondering where their place is

In a world so far apart

Keep her steady cowgirl

Don't let go of the reins
