Stars on the Open Range

Dust spins gentle on the wind tonight

Boot heels resting by the fire’s light

Lonely song echoes past the sage

Only the coyotes share this page

Silent stories float with the embers

Dreams of home I barely remember

Under stars on the open range

Where the sky and hope exchange

Mountains fade into a western blue

While I’m singing this tune for you

And the campfire glows, old and true

Horizon bleeds with silver and gold

Memories ride in the shadows I hold

Horse is grazing, reins hang low

Whispers of freedom in the night’s soft glow

Silent stories float with the embers

Dreams of home I barely remember

Under stars on the open range

Where the sky and hope exchange

Mountains fade into a western blue

While I’m singing this tune for you

And the campfire glows, old and true

Harmonica cries above the land

Ghosts of lost cowboys lend a hand

Every fire’s end calls the dawn anew

But my drifting heart returns to you

Under stars on the open range

Where the sky and hope exchange

Mountains fade into a western blue

While I’m singing this tune for you

And the campfire glows, old and trueNight wind hums a gentle refrain

Still I ride, under stars, on the plain
