Letra de Cowboys and Canyon Queens

I miss Oklahoma
Her boundless, rolling land
The tall-grass hair
She twirls in her hand
A paintbrush wildflower, with her arms red and tan
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
I'm going back to the country
To see what all this means
California's dreaming
Her desert under clouds
LA becomes a dancer in a shroud
Calls to me sweetly, but the traffic is too loud
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
I'm going back to the country
To see what all this means
Everywhere's on fire
Or under the sea
The earth is shaking down Tornado Alley
And I'm often scared, home won't be there
Waiting for me
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
I'm going back to the country
To see what all this means
The long-worn ribbon
Tying up our towns
I'm always in the middle
When it comes unwound
If I was ever choking, you were there to cut me down
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
I'm going back to the country
To see what all this means
The emeralds in your eyes
The topaz of your skin
And a diamond heart
Too hard to let me in
The prairie birds rest upon the crown placed on your head
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
I'm going back to the country
To see what all this means
The Trinity is still now
Electric fences hum
I'll never see I-35 be done
And Corinth, you'll be singing a song to hush your son
Gather 'round you cowboys
And all you canyon queens
Life is for living
And nothing's what it seems
