Wild Country - Track 4
© Tim Lengerich 2005

Pronghorn

The moon is my campfire
The sun is my coat
The mountains my compass
Wherever I go

As wild as a wolf
Hot like a summer day
Swift as a swallow
Runs the blood in my veins

Oh, the wild country
That's where I play
In the wild country
Day after day

It's the wild country
True land of the free
From the tallest mountain
To the smallest bee

Where the full moon shimmers
Over wildflowers grown
In the wild country
Of swallows and wolves

The colors from a rainbow
On a turquoise lake
Dance like the aspens
In the beaver's wake

Hear the marmot's whistle
With bald eagle’s scream
Echo down the valleys
Of wild country

Oh, the wild country
That's where I play
In the wild country
Day after day

It's the wild country
True land of the free
From the tallest mountain
To the smallest bee

There's a rainbow over
Every trail that I take
In the wild country
Of eagles and lakes

At the meadow's edge
In the lupine I lie
Where the butterflies weave
And the garter snakes glide

Where the grizzly bear walks
The same path as I
And the wee finches flit
In the warm morning light

Oh, the wild country
That's where I play
In the wild country
Day after day

It's the wild country
True land of the free
From the tallest mountain
To the smallest bee

The stars burn amillion
Held high by the peaks
Winking like candles
On the streams of my dreams
Winking like candles
On the streams of my dreams
Winking like candles
On the streams of my dreams
