From the top of Mahogany Ridge you can see forever

And forever is a long, long way

The desert rules, the first rule, you've got to know your way back home

And you'll be back to ride another day

And when the night falls the silence all around you

And the beating of your heart is the only sound

Down in some lonley canyon, beside the sagebrush fire

Dreaming of the lights of paradise town

Far across the sagebrush sea

you got to play the card that's dealt you

coming off the Mountain Taparedo tall
