 Theres a place out west were the Powder River rolls off the Big Horn Mountains,
and winds it's way out across the Plains.
 It's a land of red walls, blues skies and clean air. 
Where the eagle glides high above the canyons, 
and makes his nest in the rocks that overlook the valleys where the sagebrush and the cottonwoods grow.

  This is ranch country. 
Has been for more than a hundred years. 
Well, things have changed some since the early days, 
but theres still a thread of character and tradition that runs true from one generation to the next. 
You can see it in the way folks out here sit a horse.
You can here it in the way they talk. And when the works all done, 
theres nothing they like better than to get together 
under the one room schoolhouse, under the red wall, 
for another Downhome Homegrown Western Saturday Night.

    2nd Verse
 
  Well the little kids are playin' out back

  someone's peekin' thru the outhouse crack

  and if his mom could see him, she'd have a heart attack

  he's have a hard time sitting down.

  Well, the young cowboys are starting to sweat

  teenage girls are playin' hard to get.

  And it's driving them crazy but the night's young yet.

  Give em' time. They'll come around.
  
    2nd Chorus

  There's a coyote howlin' from the hills above to the harmony of a morning dove

   3rd Verse

   Well the midnight supper really hit the spot

   was beef and pie and coffee in a pot

   and if you drank too much, I'll tell you what

   I'll sure get you back on your feet.

   Well, the old couple sitting by the schoolhouse door

   grinnin' at the kids dancin' around the floor

   and they remember the way it was years before

   Aw, the memories taste so sweet.


   3rd Chorus

  "Faded Love" to the "Cattle Call" the music flows out thru the old red wall  
             G               D         Bm       
  and it'll  echo around to clear next fall
                D     A          D          G      D        A               D
