Big Sky – Endless Prairie

By Elton J Mellum

 

 

If you go east from the Rockies

Beneath the big, big sky

You will certainly be able to see

All the way to where you’ll die

 

The road you’re on goes on forever

Right to the end of the blue

And as soon as you get there

You’ll discover it’s fooled you

 

For as far as you can still see

It still goes on and on and on

And somewhere beyond eternity

It disappears and is gone

 

You can die out there unless you know

That there is more and less then it seems

For it can dry out your soul

And steal away your dreams

 

The endless symphony of wind

And crickets in the night

Then mosquitoes and chiggers

And no relief in sight

 

The whirlwinds are only symbols

Of bigger things to fight

When the twisters come down

And tear away the night

 

And hail can tear up the soil

And with it tear down you life

And there goes a year of toil

And comes another year of strife
