lirik lagu lorne greene - endless prairie

[intro]
there’s a land which stretches from the mississippi
westward for a thousand miles and more
to the foothills of the rocky’s
well, this vast and billowing sea of grass
can trap you like a jail cell
this lonely place
where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
this ‘endless prairie’

[refrain]
endless prairie
i’m gonna leave you

[refrain]
i’m gonna leave you
goodbye
because i don’t aim to die
here on the prairie

[verse 2]
when i first saw the prairie, i said
‘boys, there’s lots of flat land up ahead
looks warm and lazy and welcome to me
with that whoppin’ big sky up top
it keeps goin’ as far as you can see
like it’s too plain lazy to stop
oughta be an easy ride to the other side
let’s ride’
[verse 3]
so we started
and it was great to lope along and relax
and then all at once
a wind came down and mashed us flat on our cracks
the wagon got squashed like a stomped on bug
and then took off like a kite
the sky popped it’s cork like a billion~gallon jug
and poured out a thick black scr~p o’ night
and what hit us next wasn’t rightly rain
it was more like big chunks of busted window pane

[verse 4]
next morning the sun single~handed roped us and tied us
and branded our hides
and burned all our bacon
and we started running
but got overtaken by buffalo chiggers and elephant flies
that nibbled and chomped us and chawed us to size
and then spit us out when they got good and fed
and all of wished we was home, sick in bed
or dead

[bridge]
we freeze in december, in april we drown
we fry in july
then the wind comes around to flatten us out
like dough on a griddle
and 40 weeks later, we’re right in the middle of nowhere at all
just prairie and sky

[outro]
endless prairie
i’m gonna leave you
i’m gonna leave you, goodbye
or i’m gonna die
from tryin’
