Painting the west So the world may see, The free joyful life That is so dear to me. My heart does throb And my pulse run high, When I think of the land Way up in the sky. And wonder if God Has a place set aside, With cattle and ponies That the cowboys may ride. |

What is more precious than the yellow gold That we try so hard to find? I often wonder if the richest gold Is that which I left behind We search for gold from pole to pole And in every land on earth, Never thinking that the most precious gold Is beside a fire hearth Just to have a home, and kiddies too, And a wife with a heart so true, To rest and comfort your weary soul When your days work is thru. |

You have read a lot of stories About every kind of sport, From hunting lions in Africa To the champ of the tennis court. But there is one a missing And I am sure it tops them all, It is gathering wild cattle For the round up in the fall. |

RANGE FEUD When cowboys move a sheep camp by night They feel they are doing the thing that is right Because the range is theirs they say And it's come on sheep herder get on your way. |

Now to have a drink of water. Cool and pure, fresh and clear, Just a good old drink of water, Now don't you wish that you were here? It comes right from the mountains, A gurgling all the way. There is a song in every murmur, Throught the night and all the day. And to watch the speckled trout As they dart with ease and grace, Through the clear and sparkling water, Never staying in one place, Now I have drank at cocktail parties, Whiskey, wine, and all the rest, But when I'm tired, hot and sweaty, I like my mountain water best. |
