Roll on Owyhee Lyrics

By Ian Tyson
And forever is a long, long way
The desert rules, the first rule, you've got to know your way back home
And you'll be back to ride another day
And when the night falls the silence all around you
And te beating of your heart is the only sound
Down in some lonley canyon, beside the sagebrush fire
Dreaming of the lights of paradise town
Chorus:
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven
I hope it always will be
Roll on Owyhee
Far across the sagebrush sea
So we'll raise our glasses high to the big Owyhee
we'll have another round for the fellas who still hear the call
you got to play the card that's delt you
coming off the Mountain Taparedo tall
