Big Green Country Lyrics

Across the plain

 flew the lone grey rider

 Leather bag

 pounding on his back

 Above the clouds the moon

 was climbing higher

 A pack of wolves wanted

 their money back

 

 With folded arms

 the chief stood watching

 Painted braves

 slipped down the hill

 In his ears

 the spirit talking

 As they closed in

 For an easy kill

 

 At the house

 the door was wide open

 Wind blew

 curtains off the rod

 She was waiting and hoping

 She was praying to her god

 

 He was luckier than most men

 He was barely in his prime

 As she stood there

 in the doorway

 Her long dress flowing

 Would he make it this time

 

 [solo]

 

 Over the hill

 in the big green country

 That's the place where

 the cancer cowboy rides

 Pure as the driven snow

 before it got him

 Sometimes I feel like

 he's all right

 

 Sometimes I feel

 like a piece of paper

 Sometimes I feel

 like my own name

 Sometimes I feel

 different later

 Sometimes I feel

 I feel just the same

 

 [solo]
