Take me out of this prison Back to the clear blue sky Take me back to the part where this cowboy's heart Want's to live till I die Take me back to the prairie Away from these cold prison bars By a campfire's gleam let me lie there and dream Under a blanket of stars Where each mountain top wears a halo Of fleecy white clouds overhead Where symphonys ring from birds on the wing And the grass is like a soft feather bed Take me back to the prairie Bach to the land I love best So that when I am gone I'll be where I belong There in my haven of rest
