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
