When evening chores are over at our ranch house on the plain
A7 D D7
And all I've got to do is lay around
G B7 C G
I saddle up my pony and ride off down the trail
A A7 D D7 G
To watch the desert sun go down
G B7 C G
Ridin' down the canyon to watch the sun go down
A A7 D D7 G
A picture that no artist e'er could paint
G7 B7 G
White faced cattle lowin' on the mountian side
A A7 D D7
Hear a coyote whinin' for it's mate

Cactus plants are bloomin', sagebrush every where

Granite spires are standin' all around

I tell you folks it's heaven
