LEAVING HIGH PRAIRIE
Listen Now!

Dance with me darlin'
Come take my hand
Dance with me darlin'
while we still can
Cause life slips away and we run out of time
So to these hills of High Prairie I bid my good-bye

And when I am gone
the Red-tails will still soar
through the sapphire brilliance
as they did before
and the curlew will still keen
with her mournful cry
But to these hills of High Prairie I bid my good-bye

The quail with his headdress
the deer swift and light
Eagle and falcon
amazing in flight
Wild turkey will hurry across Centerville Road
But I'm leaving High Prairie, for where I don't know


I came here alone
and alone I will go
That's not how I planned it
But still it is so
Mt Adams will still glisten with bright snow when I'm gone
I'm leaving High Prairie- time to move on

Dance with me darlin'
Come take my hand
Life is too short
to live alone on the land
Part of my heart will remain here it's true
But I'm leaving High Prairie in search of you
