Boundary County |
Say hello to Boundary County |
If you make it up that way |
I don’t get around as much |
As I did in my younger days |
I was raised in that country |
So pure and so fair |
But I took too hard to the whiskey |
And I wandered away from there |
I miss the barbed wire and the sage |
On that wild northern range |
The giant, staring sky |
Like a bright, tragic blue eye |
Why I left I can’t say why I can’t say why |
Say hello to Boundary County for me |
She’s prettier than dreams |
If you’ve been someplace so far away |
Then you’ve really seen some things |
Those miles and miles of steel rails |
Are a one-way track |
And no matter how hard I try |
I never make it back |
I never make it back |
I miss those violet hills |
And the sweet smell of the fields |
Reach their arms out so wide |
Like heaven’s only bride |
Why I left I can’t say why |
I can’t say why |
Every man serves his time |
I know I’ve done my share |
And when that old roll is called |
You will find me there |
In Boundary County |
If you make it up that way |
I don’t get around as much |
As I did in my younger days |
