lyrics

I left my home at 17 years old
Moved west to the city to try to make it on my own
I gave it 20 years, I gave it all I had
Prospects turned to dust, I had to play a different hand.

I wandered all around the west looking for my place
Met all kinds of different folks, seen all different kinds of faces
I lingered here and wandered there searching for a truth
From what I learned your heart is home and it’s best to treat it true

—————————————
Chorus
The prairie started calling, calling me back home
At first it was a whisper then it turned into a moan
I let the feeling take me back on down that road
We’ll see just where it leaves me, this prairie calls me home
——————————————

So now I’m back on prairie soil, back where I belong
These big old skies and gold for miles sure do fill my soul
I think I’ll stay, at least for now, until things become more clear
I’ll hang my hat, lean on back and maybe crack myself a beer
——————————————-
Chorus
