Jones 08/06/2008) (song#5692) Snow storms blow across the prairie, cattle's in the pen Except for the strays out on the ridge There's a blizzard toward the mountains, sky is turning grey The trail is risky beyond the bridge A cowboy rides alone, hat pulled down against the wind Round up all those strays before the storm He knows the ranch house fire is burning, she waits for him Thinking of her there will keep him warm It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen When a lone cowboy can be back at the ranch again It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen The old fences need some mending, keeps the cattle in Those kind of things can't wait til the spring Cowboy's chores are never ending, way it's always been But her love makes a cowboy a king It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen When a lone cowboy can be back at the ranch again It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen Soon this lone cowboy will have his pony in the barn In the ranch house she's waiting for me Her kisses will be a joy as sweet love is reborn And happiness will mean no more freezing storm to see This cowboy rides alone, hat pulled down against the wind Round up all those strays before the storm I know the ranch house fire is burning, she waits for me Thinking of her there will keep me warm It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen When this lone cowboy can be back at the ranch again It will feel so good when the last stray is in the pen Lovely Way To Live (Larry W.
