plain to see plainsman

i cut through the rockies like some unholy blade

the icy depths of the pacific i have bade

forever i wander

forever i stray

the rustle of wheat fields starts callin' my name

callin' my name

let me die in the country that i love the most

i'm a plain-to-see plainsman

and this i will boast

a heart that lies far from the east or west coast

this plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home

longin' for home

well the north-folk are dandy

they don't mind the cold

the south has filled up both my belly and soul

i know when i'm gray and i know when i'm old

these bones will cry out for the place they were born

place they were born

let me die in the country that i love the most

i'm a plain-to-see plainsman

and this i will boast

a heart that lies far from the east or west coast

this plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home

longin' for home

i've met beautiful women

a pleasure to see

road-bitten bikers and barefoot hippies

junkies and saints on my travels i greet

but far too few are homesick young plainsmen like me

plainsmen like me

let me die in the country that i love the most

i'm a plain-to-see plainsman

and this i will boast

a heart that lies far from the east or west coast

this plain-to-see plainsman is longin' for home

longin' for home
