  • In the mountains the sun sets up in ribbons so high
    It's like I don't never wanna get old, don't never wanna die
    We seein' steady rain, 'bout to drive us all insane
    Nearly lost a few head up in the pines

    At night, some of the boys get to talking up their girls back home
    I tell 'em there ain't none's as fine as mine
    I can hear old Chapman sayin', come morning we'll break the range
    Be pushin' hard now for the plains

    I close my eyes, I can see you
    I close my eyes, I can feel you here
    God willin' and the creek don't rise
    I'll be home again before this time next year
    Though I fear this fever won't break
