Roll on Owyhee by Ian Tyson Lyrics
From the top of Mahogany Ridge
You can see forever
And forever is a long, long way
The desert rules: the first rule
You got to know your way back home
You'll be back to ride another day
And when night falls
And the silence all around you
And the beating of your heart
Is the only sound
Down in some lonely canyon
Beside a sagebrush fire
Dreaming of the lights of paradise town
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
So we'll raise our glasses high
To the big Owyhee
We'll have another round
For the fellas that still hear the call
You got to play the cards that's dealt you
Coming off a mountain tapadero tall
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
You can see forever
And forever is a long, long way
The desert rules: the first rule
You got to know your way back home
You'll be back to ride another day
And when night falls
And the silence all around you
And the beating of your heart
Is the only sound
Down in some lonely canyon
Beside a sagebrush fire
Dreaming of the lights of paradise town
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
So we'll raise our glasses high
To the big Owyhee
We'll have another round
For the fellas that still hear the call
You got to play the cards that's dealt you
Coming off a mountain tapadero tall
Roll on Owyhee
Wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
