Stars And Stones

Stars And Stones
Sunrise, it's the moment I can see this place anew
Past the cattle and the weather and the crew
Like the ever-blowing wind, it's the love
That's always there, everywhere

Way back it was great grandfather
Who fought the daily wars
Lost and won high in the saddle of a horse
His decisions all were made for the family,
For the land, hand-in-hand
This is home
Where the mountains roll the rivers through the fields
Blue skies as slick as steel
A coyote calls from a ridge above us all
It's a life of stars and stones
It's all we've known
Money means you subdivide and conquer as a choice
It's the modern cowboy's secret little voice
It tells him he'd be a wealthy man
If he sells this place today and walks away
History ties the ranching to our family and our friends
Everyday the modest means just never end
The wrinkles branded in my smile trace
The rapture and despair, same as theirs
This is home
Where the mountains roll the rivers through the fields
Blue skies as slick as steel
A coyote calls from a ridge above us all
It's a life of stars and stones
It's a life of stars and stones
It's all we've known
