500,000 acres

i look out across your landscape

and i can see for miles

my outstretched hands run through your wildflowers

but the valleys of your shadow

hide a mystery unsolved

out in the desert

where you never go

you're but half a million acres

lying underneath the sun

so much left untouched by anyone

will i ever know you

will i ever know

will i ever know you

all the way

follow me beyond the fences

and lose track of the days

let your wild horses lead the way

when we finally reach the water

walk that ocean floor

find a pearl and head on back to shore

oh half a million acres

lying underneath the sun

so much left untouched by anyone

there's another million acres

lying underneath your wing

will i ever know you all the way

will i ever know you

will i ever know

will i ever know you

all the way

half a million acres

lying underneath the sun

so much left untouched by anyone

there's another million acres

lying underneath your wings

will i ever know you all the way

just when i think i'm getting close

thats when i see how deep

will i ever know you all the way

half a million acres

lying out there on your own

so much left untouched by anyone
