lyrics

14) Moonlight on the Prairie - m.litton

Moonlight on the prairie, small town and farms
Her pastures of plenty asleep beneath the stars
Seasons may change through childhood and toil
I’ll leave my dust in her soil

So long my prairie, prairie so wide
From Dallas north to Calgary
Blue horizons and sky
The north winds may blow ‘n blanket the plains
Spring will bring thunder and rain
Come summer they’ll harvest her grain

Moonlight on the prairie, memories I have known
My headlights shine down an old highway
By morning I will be home…
