HOME ON THE RANGE (LIVE)
RICK   JUN-2015
 
VERSE1
Oh give me a home Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
 
CHORUS
Home home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
 
VERSE2
Oh the range can be rough But the cowboys are tough
As they ride out to round up the strays
Their wives stay at home As the mountains they roam
And the journey can take several days

 
(CHORUS)
 
VERSE3
Now the story is old But it still must be told
Bout 2 cowboys who tackled that range
To a mountain they came Brokeback was its name
And from there things became a bit strange
 
VERSE4
They were out there alone Far away from their home
Just each other to keep company
And at night by the fire Just before they retired
They discovered they both had a need

 
(CHORUS)
 

 
VERSE5
I think you might know That as those feelings go
Sometimes they can get pretty strong
And Romance can bloom By the light of the moon
And how can love ever be wrong
 
VERSE6
You can guess that this led To them sharing a bed
And discovering feelings so new
It was like trying black They say you never go back
To the old way that you used to do

 
(CHORUS)
 
VERSE7
Now they must have known They could never go home
So they packed up and just rode away
And the legend is told By the ones who must know
Theyre still riding that mountain today

 
(CHORUS)
 
VERSE8
For those who condemm The way this story ends
With a man making love with a man
Please keep in mind That at that very time
Their other choice was just a hand
 
CHORUS2
Home home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the cowboys you meet might be gay
