[Verse 1]
I cut through the Rockies like some unholy blade
The icy depths of the Pacific I have bathed
Forever I wander, forever I stray
The rustle of wheat fields starts callin my name
Callin my name
[Chorus]
Let me die in the country that I love the most
I m a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
My heart it lies far from the east or west coast
This plain-to-see plainsman is longin for home
Longin for home
[Verse 2]
Well the north-folk are dandy, they don t mind the cold
The south has filled up both my belly and soul
I know when I m gray and I know when I m old
These bones will cry out for the place they were born
Place they were born
[Chorus]
Let me die in the country that I love the most
I m a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
A heart that lies far from the east or west coast
This plain-to-see plainsman is longin for home
Longin for home
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
I ve met beautiful women, a pleasure to see
Road-bitten bikers and barefoot hippies
Junkies and saints on my travels I greet
But far too few are homesick young plainsmen like me
Plainsmen like me
[Chorus]
Let me die in the country that I love the most
I m a plain-to-see plainsman, and this I will boast
A heart that lies far from the east or west coast
This plain-to-see plainsman is longin for home
Longin for home
